10.5: How to set the Windows Workgroup

This hint makes no sense to me. As far as I can tell, there is no connection whatsoever between your location name and the WINS workgroup setting.

10.5: How to set the Windows Workgroup
Authored by: dewab on Nov 07, '07 08:45:01AM

Playing with the config, if left on automatic, the workgroup name doesn't seem to persist across location changes (and possibly reboots?) whereas if you create a new Location, it persists with that location.

The file that is altered is /var/run/smb.conf if you want to watch it during location changes.
