Summary

Samba provides many tools for automating activities on the server side of SMB connections. By using the various preexec and postexec parameters, smb.conf variables, and the include directive, you can configure your server to exhibit very dynamic behavior that is able to meet the needs of your clients.

netbios aliases, when used in conjunction with the include parameter, can offer a means of emulating multiple Samba servers using a single machine.
