Everytime I add or remove some samba shares, I must restart smb service to take effect. Is there anyway to reconfig it without restart?
>> Yes there is, you must "kill -HUP" your parent smbd process, either work out which >> pid it is from running ps -aef (-aux or whatever for your UNIX platform) or cat /sambainstalldir/var/locks/smbd.pid file which contains the PID, then "kill -HUP YourPID" For already established client connections they may not see the changes until they disconnect but for new connections your smb.conf/share changes will be visable, cheers Andy. << BBCi at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
