<description>
	<para>
	Samba 2.2.0 introduced the ability to dynamically add and delete shares via the Windows NT 4.0 Server
	Manager.  The <parameter moreinfo="none">delete share command</parameter> is used to define an external
	program or script which will remove an existing service definition from
	<filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename>.
	</para>

	<para>In order to successfully execute the
	<parameter moreinfo="none">delete share command</parameter>,
	<command moreinfo="none">smbd</command>	requires that the administrator
	connects using a root account (i.e.  uid == 0) or has the
	<literal>SeDiskOperatorPrivilege</literal>.
	Scripts defined in the <parameter moreinfo="none">delete share command</parameter>
	parameter are executed as root.
	</para>

	<para>
	When executed, <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will automatically invoke the
	<parameter moreinfo="none">delete share command</parameter> with two parameters.
	</para>

	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
			<para><parameter moreinfo="none">configFile</parameter> - the location
			of the global <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename> file.

		</listitem>

		<listitem>
			<para><parameter moreinfo="none">shareName</parameter> - the name of
			the existing service.
