It is installed as ${PREFIX}/etc/smb.conf.default. You copy that
file to smb.conf and edit appropriately. There is a good reason
it isn't listed in the +CONTENTS file: if you upgrade samba by
deleting the old package and installing the new, it will
obediantly delete the smb.conf file you so carefully constructed.
This way, your config file remains untouched.
