I do like that Namjae et al made the format of the .conf file very similar to the format of Samba's smb.conf file though. I realize there some users complain that there are too many smb.conf parameters for Samba, but he seemed to pick a reasonably subset of them for ksmbd. Samba is a much larger project with many more smb.conf parameters but it does reduce confusion making the parameter names similar where possible e.g. "workgroup", "guest account", (share) path, read only, etc. and fortunately the default directories for the two smb.conf files are different so at least the daemons don't use the same file.
Sure, I think the formats and parameter names being as close as possible is a great idea to allow users to move between servers as they wish. But making the files the same name is not a good idea.
