To view an SMB configuration parameter

Open an SSH session to the server.
Run the following command:
setting smb get-smb-param smb_configkey=<parameter>
Where <parameter> is the parameter you want to view.

To change an SMB configuration parameter

Open an SSH session to the server.
Run the following command:
