Automatically creating share directories 1

[TonyGroves]

Does anybody know of any per-share Samba setting that will if necessary automatically create the directory associated with the share, when Samba is started? I've searched the docs and web but found nothing.

Thanks.

I don't think Samba itself can do it.
Perhaps you can something like this to your Samba init script?

for DIR in `/path/to/testparm -s 2>/dev/null | grep -w "path =" | awk '{print $3}'` ; do
if [ !-d $DIR ] ; then
    mkdir -p $DIR
fi

Excellent idea! I'll play around with that.

Thanks!
