Hello I have a small problem which I hope you can help with. We are running samba 2.2.8a on a V880 using Solaris 9. Up until today there were, as far as we know, no problems with the service. Today a change was done to add 6 additional shares to the system. This was done by editing the configuration file and issuing a kill -HUP to the samba service. All appeared to be OK until access was attempted to the new shares - as it turns out the list of authorised users was incorrect but that was not the cause of the problem. Further investigation using 'map network drive' in windows xp explorer showed that the work group was no longer listed. The first thought was a configuration file error so the original configuration file was restored and the samba service re-started. The workgroup was still not visible. Users already connected to the samba shares seem to be working without a problem but no new connections seem to be possible. Has anybody come across this particular situation before ? and if so what is the solution please? I have included the samba configuration file below for information. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
