samba - Apr 2006 - How to restart samba with reboot

Hi,

This is may songs like very easy question. But I am new to Samba. After I 
have changed smb.conf, how do I get samba to restart without reboot the 
machine. I am using FreeBSD 6.

Thanks,

Jeffrey

This is seriously more a FREEBSD Question then anything, if you understand how
the rc scripts work you should simply run the following:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh

this will show you all the options of the rc script, in your case your after
reload to re-read the smb.conf

thus you would run "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh reload"
or
"/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh restart"
to force samba to shutdown and start again!

this will work providing you used ports to install samba

otherwise you could issue "killall -HUP smbd" which is the same as 
above however
sends a kill signal to the samba process to re-read the smb.conf...

hope that helps
