10.5: How to set the Windows Workgroup
Authored by: Bassman59 on Nov 07, '07 12:08:24PM

I can't get the new Workgroup name to stick. It's broken. From what I can tell, changing the Workgroup in the WINS tab should modify /var/run/smb.conf, which is where the magic "workgroup =" line in [global] lives. But it doesn't work.

BTW: I always delete the "automatic" location and create specific locations as needed.
