samba host name
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. -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

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). -- Jens B.

Re: samba host name

Another good parameter is -H if you want to set additional names the server should reply to. => man nmbd Torsten -- "What a depressingly stupid machine" The Restaurant at the End of the Universe PGP Public Key is available -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
