FreeBSD 8.2 and Samba 4.0.0alpha11

[Shahn]

Running a default Standard Install of FreeBSD 8.2.

I'm trying to install Samba4 from Ports. It appears to compile and install correctly but it does not write a smb.conf file ANYWHERE. I have searched the entire file system and there is no configuration file and there is no example of a configuration file. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it and could use some help with this. I have tried to searching for this issue and found no answers. How do you configure Samba4 without a conf file?

The port's pkg-plist appears to suggest otherwise. See if looking around in there gives you a lead.

[/usr/ports/net/samba4-devel] $ grep smb pkg-plist
[/usr/ports/net/samba4-devel] $ grep conf pkg-plist

Are those Provisions various versions of smb.conf?
