+

+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This plugin uses the following configuration variables:
+
+ [samba]
+  user root
+  env.smbstatus /usr/bin/smbstatus
+  env.ignoreipcshare 1
+
+Usually "smbstatus" requires to be run as root (see "user root" above).
+
+Environment variables:

+   (default: search PATH and fall back to /usr/bin/smbstatus)
+ * ignoreipcshare: set this variable to any non-empty value to ignore IPC$ when counting shares.
