Thanks for that!

Did you actually get all the way through and successfully start
operating LS? - now I am getting failures with Build - SL2LS.pl creates
ledger-smb.conf but it appears it should be ledgersmb.conf . I have
tried copying it from ledgersmb.conf.default as well but then I get a
different set of results &  failures . .
