Question extraction of samba shares with sed
Hi there,

My samba configuration file looks like that :
Code:
[global]
...
[netlogon]
...
[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles/
...
[family]
path = /home/samba/shares/family
valid users = family
[admins]
path = /home/samba/shares/admins
valid users = admins
[public]
path = /home/samba/shares/public

I want to extract the list of standard shares (other than netlogon and profiles). So I need to display all lines containing path = after the first path = following [profiles].

This seems pretty hard. Is it possible?
Thanks for your help.

Santiago

Code:
nawk '/\[profiles\]/ {f++;next};/^path =/ {f++; if (f>2) print}' config.smb
OR
nawk '/\[profiles\]/ {f++;next};/^path =/ && f++ && f>2' config.smb

Code:
$ awk '/\[family\]/,/EOF/ {if( $1 ~ /path/) {print}}' samba

Where do you see 'EOF' in a file?
What if you have the 'admins' block BEFORE the 'family' block?
