How to add special smb.conf setting.

[DLLarson]

Hi,

How do I get the global setting ntlm auth = yes to be added to the smb.conf file? I need this to deal with login's from some old machines on my LAN. Note that I'm aware that ntlmv1 is broken from a security standpoint but I need it none-the-less.

I tried the templates/global-include.conf trick but the samba role isn't finding the file:

fatal: [ansible-nas]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not find or access 'global-include.conf'\nSearched in:\n\t/home/skb/.ansible/roles/bertvv.samba/templates/global-include.conf\n\t/home/skb/.ansible/roles/bertvv.samba/global-include.conf\n\t/home/skb/.ansible/roles/bertvv.samba/tasks/templates/global-include.conf\n\t/home/skb/.ansible/roles/bertvv.samba/tasks/global-include.conf\n\t/home/skb/my-ansible-nas/ansible-nas/templates/global-include.conf\n\t/home/skb/my-ansible-nas/ansible-nas/global-include.conf"}

In my case I'm including a playbook that exists in a sub-directory beneath where I define the samba_global_include: global-include.conf in a master playbook. I include the playbook ansible-nas\nas.yml after defining the above symbol.

The role does engage in a search for the file so I believe it's seeing the symbol definition but it won't look in the templates directory from the directory of the top-most playbook.

Any insights here?
