Synopsis

Allowable values: command

Default: NULL

Specifies a command that creates a new share on the Samba server. This command runs as root when a share is created using the Windows NT/2000/XP Server Manager. The client user must be logged on as the root user. The command will be passed the name of the Samba configuration file, the name of the share to be created, the full pathname of a directory on the Samba server (which must already exist), and a string to use as a comment for the share, in that order. The command must add a share definition for the share to smb.conf. See also add printer command, for adding a print share.
