Hi again.

I just ran an upgrade from SE9.2 to 9.3

My XP workgroup clients now see this machine listed with a
long and inconvenient comment line that reads:

Samba 3.0.1.13-1.1-Suse (ns1)

I'm not running a domain.
This box is the preferred Browse Master.

And, No, it wasn't like this before. other SE9.2 boxes here show the correct comment.
(which is none - comment = <nl>)

This string is NOT being set in /etc/samba/smb.conf or any includes that I can see.

greps in /etc ,/etc/sysconfig/, /etc/rc.d and usr/local/samba don't spot it.

BTW, If I change 'server string' in /etc/samba/smb.conf,
then the name change shows on the clients after a restart.

ex. Samba 3.0.1.13-1.1-Suse (fixme)

But, changing the 'comment' entry has no effect.
So. it's getting set sometime after smb.conf is read?

Anybody know, or wanna guess where this string is set?


Thanks.

Post your smb.conf file so that we can have a look at it.
