Changing workgroup?

By default my version of Arch Linux (Manjaro Linux) Installs with workgroup ad WORKGROUP so I think. How do I verify what work group I am in and how to change it? I am not yet running SAMBA so can't change it in there.

That's usually in the smb.conf file.

How do you know that you are part of a workgroup? You're not talking about hostname are you?

Also did you try their forum?

First you need to modify your Samba configuration file -->

Code:



sudo medit /etc/samba/smb.conf





#======================= Global Settings =====================================

[global]



# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH

  workgroup = Linux-Rox



#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

[TV_&_Music_Video]

comment = TV_&_Music_Video

public = yes

browseable = yes

writable = no

path = /media/Cinema_HD/Cinema

guest ok = yes

share modes = yes

Then start the service -->

Code:



sudo systemctl enable smbd.service  # This sets it so it starts on boot



sudo systemctl start smbd.service # This starts it for the current session.

Hope this helps.
