Changing Samba description SuSE 11.1
 

Hi all .. am using SuSE 11.1 & am in a network domain & I wanna change the samba description so any1 have any ideas how to edit this description I wanna put an easier description than the "Samba 2.6 ... etc " Thanks.

edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change "Server String" to the new description.

I went to this file but I didn't find a line called Server String !!

Did you find a string that matches the Description you are seeing and want to change?

Nope .. This is the Computer name "PC1 (Samba 3.2.6-0.3.1-2042-SUSE-CODE11)"



# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

In Globals I have the following entry:
=Which identifies my Samba Server
I see from your post that you don't have this entry in your smb.conf file and maybe, lacking that entry, you are getting a default display.

OK you have any solutions?

Did you edit smb.conf to include the item from the earlier post above?

Yeah man I thought in that too & did it .. It works I added the line server string to smb.conf & its modified :-) thanks.
