Usually, the rc.d scripts do a stop and start for the "restart" option.  A
"reload" option will typically do the HUP.

Never worked like that for me.  In fact, I didn\'t even know it was
documented.
Now that I know, I might give it a chance... ;)

As Mark says, there might be some delay in letting Samba handle it itself.
This
will not be sufficiently deterministic when you\'re working with a problem
and
trying different options to fix it.

Regardless, when I enacted the \"use client driver\" parameter in smb.conf,
even
doing an \"smb restart\" (which I assume does a kill -HUP under the covers)
was
not sufficient to make the change take effect.  I had to stop/start.

Cheers,
Vic
