samba - Nov 2001 - Samba checking for smb.conf changes

Been looking around for this. When does Samba determine when to check 
for changes to the smb.conf file? Is there a certain amount of seconds set?

This may happen every two mintes.
You can force it to read it with :
kill -1 pid
(SIGHUP)
The pid is the first smbd started.
You can also find when it was last accessed with :
ls -alu smb.conf
Joel

I don't believe that it will automatically read for changes.
If you make changes to smb.conf, ordinarily you need to do a "hangup"
of the
smbd PID:
	$ ps -ef | grep smbd
	root  1234   1   Nov28 ? 	00:00:00 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd
-D
	$ kill -HUP 1234
this forces it to reread it's config file.
