That may be the case, however, my "server String" in the smb.conf if set to "testing" but when I map a drive, the label "Samba 3.0.7 (case.comp.uvic.ca) H:" shows up in the "My Computer" view in Windows XP.
Either WinXP can somehow tell that this is a Samba server, but since the version number in in the label I think that it must be Samba that is somehow announcing itself. I could rename the mount, but I have 4500 users and I do not want to announce to them that this is a Samba server, especially the version number. I just want my "Server String" to be known to the users. Thanks for the responses so far. Evan.
