Does that not work? Check the script name: ls /etc/init.d it might be samba rather than smb. In fact looking for yourself would show you that, youcould have gone: dpkg -L samba|grep init.d or here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/samba/filelist However man smbd will tell you that you do not need to restart samba, as the file is read every minute. However existing connections are not affected, so restarting does ensure all connections are using the new config: The configuration file, and any files that it includes, are automati- cally reloaded every minute, if they change. You can force a reload by sending a SIGHUP to the server. Reloading the configuration file will not affect connections to any service that is already established. Either the user will have to disconnect from the service, or smbd killed and restarted. > > or > > /samba restart > You keep scripts in / ??? > is it all built into networking? > > Do I have to restart networking each time I want smb updated? > No.
