open this file immediaetly ,and afte closing this file , tell these process to
read it."

look at the samba log files, it could be a lot of things...permissions, 
bad username/password, etc.

Do what all other unix programs do in this circumstance.
Create a temp smb.conf file and then do an atomic rename
into place. The next time smbd/nmbd re-read the file (or
when you tell them to do it via a MSG_SMB_CONF_UPDATED
message) they'll see the new contents.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy.
