 yes.

 basically.

 take a look at TNG's make_srv_share_1_info() function
 in srv_srvsvc_nt.c.

 pay special attention to all lp_xxx() functions because
 those are the ones that grab the info from smb.conf.

 note that they all take an snum integer parameter
 which is the index of the [section name] in the
 smb.conf file.

 not yet.

 because smb.conf can be included and is dynamically
 generated from the "include" option, this is almost
 impossible.

 if there was only ever _one_ smb.conf file allowed, it
 would be easy to do.
