SUSE Standard Server 8.0

Okay, so we've installed SUSE 8. The box is destined to be our intranet server, but right now we're just getting it up and running. Until now, it's been sitting outside the domain in it's own little workgroup. I aim to change that, and thus I edited the smb.conf file so that workgroup = <ourdomain>

I'm thinking this will at least be a start. But I figure I need to restart samba, and .... I don't know how. I know i don't need to reboot.... If anyone can give me a command I'd appreciate it.

I'm more used to Fedora and red Hat 9 where there is actually a graphical interface to do this. I don't know if this is a funtion of red hat or gnome.... but it was nice. Nonetheless it's time to start getting familiar with the shell and leave this gui behind so any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried Baldrick

sounds reasonable.... anybody know what the path is :-)

You may not need the path. Just try it (as root of course). What's the worst that could happen?

btw, I don't have samba installed, but this should work.

Hey,

Try the following... (as root of course)

/usr/sbin/smbd restart

try it after that.

If it still isn't working, type this in as well...

/usr/sbin/nmbd restart

I believe you actually have to restart both services, but I could be wrong. Just try the Samba Daemon restart first.

The path for the script is:

/etc/rc.d/

OR

/etc/init.d/

/etc/

so...

1. cd into the dir
2. .samba [stop][start][restart]

Yeah, jsokko is correct.

I typed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart and it did what you were looking for.

Sometimes the brain just don't work....
