# MX Samba Config Help

MX Samba Config is the MX Linux tool for managing Samba users and user shares from a Qt interface.

## Main Tasks

- Enable or disable automatic Samba startup.
- Start or stop the Samba service.
- Add or remove Samba users.
- Create, edit, and remove shared folders.

## Users

Use the user controls to add Samba passwords for existing system users or remove Samba access when it is no longer needed.

## Shares

The share list shows folders exported through Samba usershares. Add a new share for a folder you own, or edit an existing share to change its name, comment, guest access, write access, or visibility.

## Service Controls

The Samba buttons at the bottom of the main window let you control whether the service starts automatically and whether it is currently running.

## Notes

- Shares typically need to point to folders owned by the user creating them.
- Remote systems may need to reconnect after share or permission changes.
- Package documentation, including the license and changelog, is installed under `/usr/share/doc/mx-samba-config/`.
