Missing nsmb.conf file I'm looking for the nsmb.conf file to try some different settings to troubleshoot network connectivity issues.  I'm on Mac OS Mojave.  I cannot find that file in /etc/nsmb.conf or ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.  Those are the only two locations described in the manual page (http://www.manpagez.com/man/5/nsmb.conf/).

There is an /etc/smb.conf file.  What is the difference between an nsmb.conf file and smb.conf file?
Just create the file via commandline/Terminal. It does not exist by default. 

sudo touch /etc/nsmb.conf


The smb.conf file is most likely carried over from updating older versions of macOS. It’s not used anymore in Mojave.

The terminal command above is the global location for the config file, if you want to set config options for specific users, see the following URL. The link also contains additional info about SMB config.
