If I understand correctly, in order to have the smb.conf file applied you need to restart smbd.
Is "service smbd reload" sufficient (which does a "killproc smbd -HUP")? Will this kill any active connections to samba resources causing user disruption? Or is this a seamless process that can be carried out midday? I ask because if I need to kill all user connections to production shares in order to test different share parameters that changes my approach.
