where are the config files created in debian bookworm?

[NossieUK]

I have wsdd installed via apt - I feel really silly with this but can someone tell me

A: Where do I add the SMB_GROUP line to use the samba workgroup?
B: What do I edit to allow WSDD to use those flags on startup?

set the Workgroup according to smb.conf and be verbose

SMB_GROUP=$(grep -i '^\sworkgroup\s=' smb.conf | cut -f2 -d= | tr -d '[:blank:]')

wsdd -v -w $SMB_GROUP

just to add this is debian bookworm - there appears to be no clear way as to where the conf files are created?

For systemd?! Nowhere, I assume(see below).

Take a look at the place where most configuration files are located, your /etc directory. I haven't looked into bookworm, but I suspect there is a wsdd.conf file somewhere that may look like the one in the repo.

However, AFAIK, you cannot execute shell commands in such a file. Thus, you have to specify the workgroup manually there. You can use the cited command line from the man page to determine the workgroup or just take a look into the samba configuration.

I think it's /etc/default/wsdd

[simonmcnair]

sorry, my bad. It's /usr/lib/systemd/system/wsdd.service

[simonmcnair]

oh. /usr/lib/systemd/system/wsdd.service contains a reference to /etc/default/wsdd so I was correct.
