Restart
You can also kill smbd and nmbd and restart them (/usr/sbin/smbd and nmbd) or you can do what the Editor said (Stopping and Starting Windows Sharing) I just found that it clears Sambas cache better to restart, so, if you have problems, try a restart first.
Restart
Actually the correct way to get smbd to restart is to use SIGHUP, i.e.,
do sudo kill -HUP theprocessidofsmbd. The man for smbd tell you that doing a kill (-9) can leave memory in an inconsistent state.
Restart
You don't always need to restart Samba, as long as you can wait a few minutes. Samba will automatically re-read its configuration file every few minutes and will pick up the changes. Since Samba is frequently used to serve files on Unix servers to Windows clients, you wouldn't want to have to kill everyone's session (i.e. restart Samba) just to add a new network share. |
