ksmbd-tools clearly has a goal of being compatible with smb.conf(5) of
Samba when it comes to the common subset of functionality they share.
ksmbd-tools has 7 global parameters that Samba does not have, but other
than, share parameters and global parameters of ksmbd-tools are subset
of those in Samba. Samba and ksmbd-tools do not have any conflicting
file locations. The smb.conf(5ksmbd) man page of ksmbd-tools does not
collide with and never overshadows smb.conf(5) of Samba. Please, help
me understand what sort of disaster this could lead to.
