samba host name

[Paul Miller]

I don't want to use my host name as my samba name... how can I change
samba to use a different name?  I didn't find anything in the smb.conf man
page.

I'm currently loading samba 1.9.16p11 from the inetd.conf file.

 in smb.conf

nmbd is the guy you need to watch out for. Your Netbios name can
be set on the nmbd command line using '-n'. I believe nmbd is launched
by inetd. Also, if you changed smb.conf make sure you kill any running
nmbd processes (or kill -HUP them if you're really tricky).

oops,  either i didn't understand your question, or..
 well, netbios name allows you to set any netbios name, you wish (the 
name, which appears in Net Envioument on Windoze.. if you meant something 
else?)

Take a look at the -n option of nmbd.  Another good parameter is -H if
you want to set additional names the server should reply to.

=> man nmbd
