Changing Samba Hostname

[Joel]

Hi,

I can't seem to change the name of my samba server. It is Samba 2.0.10-security-rollup at the moment, and I need to change it to get it to appear on my network.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Joel

You need to add the line :-

server string = Name you want

into the global section of the smb.conf file.

Cheers

Ade

Hey, I did not know this either- this could be handy for some users.
I will add it to my guides on my wiki
