Actually, I think the correct answer here is no and not even close. For the server reporting, I think that's one of those things that gets picked up by the refresh of the config file that happens every couple of minutes or so. The real reason I bothered to reply though, is that the windows clients will hold on to that server string for a LOOOOONG time, like forever. When I took over sysadmin here, the server's comment was 'samba mania' running like 2.2.0 or something. A year later, I had gone up to something in the range of 2.2.8a and re-commented the server to something like 'Fargo server', but every machine that hadn't been replaced or rebuilt still had "ntapps on samba mainia(fgoserv)(N:)" or whatever the format of that line is, as their drive mappings. There is a registry setting someplace that holds this data too, which I can't find now since every machine here is post the era that had a comment listed. There may also be some storage going on in the nethood folder for your users. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
