You will have to change the smbsessetup reply code in the server.
Look in smbd/sesssetup.c:add_signature().  But it really takes more
than this to hide the fact that the server is running Samba.


I am not looking for anything stealthy whatsoever. Just it greatly confuses some users when they click on "My computer" and then see a network drive that says:
"Office on 'Samba 3.0.14a-2 (roipdc)' (G:)"   <--- an ugly mouthfull!!

It would be much nicer to see:
"Office on 'DataServer (roipdc)' (G:)"

Heck I could even live with:
"Office on 'Samba (roipdc)' (G:)"
I personally do not see the need for end users to have the version number announced to them to be honest.

I was hoping there was a simple not well documented setting in smb.conf that would be able to do this. If not, I would personally like to have that ability added.

Anyone else care to comment or have any ideas?

Gerry, thanks for the suggestion - I'll likely play around with it on a non-production test machine sometime soon. But I am always hesitant to deploy a non-standard hack like this into a production machine.

Cheers.
