Hi! I read in samba howto that "samba restart" command restarts both daemons nmbd and smbd while "samba reload" command force smbd to read smb.conf. question: when is important restart samba daemons after changed smb.conf? in case of changed of global section? thanks in advance, Fabio -- Dott.

if you really want to kill all connected clients and force them to reread the smb.conf you should use restart i always try to avoid restart in a productive env because some apps my fail or open files may got lost greez Fabio wrote:> Hi! > I read in samba howto that "samba restart" command restarts both daemons nmbd > and smbd while "samba reload" command force smbd to read smb.conf. > > question: when is important restart samba daemons after changed smb.conf? in > case of changed of global section? > > thanks in advance, > Fabio
