AFAIK, Samba will notice a change on its own as well.

  Yes there is, you must kill -HUP your parent smbd process, either work out 
  which pid it is from running ps -aef (-aux or whatever
 for your UNIX platform) or cat /sambainstalldir/var/locks/smbd.pid file which 
 contains the PID, then kill -HUP YourPID
 For already established client connections they may not see the changes until they 
 disconnect but for new connections your
 smb.conf/share changes will be visable,

 cheers Andy.

Re: [Samba] Can I reconfigure Samba share without restart smb service?

2004-05-12 Thread Mike Stewart
I read somewhere that Samba re-reads its config file every minute or so.  I
think one of my servers (2.2.0a) does this but the other (2.2.8a) seems to
take longer.
