Configuration files for different services are very specific, depending on your need and your network architecture. Someone could install Samba Server and have just one client connection, and another could install it with 1000 connections.
: All the configuration files required for each software described in this book has been provided by us as a gzipped file, floppy.tgz for your convenience. This can be downloaded from this web address: https://www.openna.com/books/floppy.tgz
You can unpack this to any location on your local machine, say for example /tmp, assuming you have done this your directory structure will be /tmp/floppy. Within this floppy directory each configuration file has its own directory
for respective software. For example Samba configuration file are organised like this:
