hi
i m using samba 3 on my rhl 7.3 box. i m using samba for quite some time. is there any way tht the updations made in smb.conf take place dynamically. i mean everytime i increase max no. of connections to a share or add a new share i need to restart th smb service. this stops the service for other users. is there any way to get around this

thnx for help in advance
bye

You shouldn't need to - samba will periodically look for cahnges in smb.conf
