If your service also has file systems + IP addresses as part of the it,
a template configuration will be generated the first time the service is
started.

After you start the service for the first time, you can edit the
generated configuration file; it's stored in:

  /etc/samba/smb.conf.<name> 

Editing the file will disable future auto generation - meaning if you
add more file systems to the service, it won't pick them up
automatically.
