[Samba] samba server version removal
Is there some way to remove that label from showing up on the shares on the windows client? I tell my teachers to look for the F: drive or whichever drive, but for some reason MS in their infinite wisdom puts the drive letter at the end of the share so it does not show up unless the windows is expanded so that it can be seen. (and even though I have told them how to see the letter, most cannot remember that.) My shares are always like the following: "share on samba 'Samba Server Version ..... (share)(F:)" I have tried commenting out the 'Server String =' in the config and even setting it to something like 'Server String =', but it shows the same thing anyways. Thanks for any info. -- Scott Mayo - System Administrator Bloomfield Schools PH: 573-568-5669 FA: 573-568-4565 Question: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

In smb.conf: server string = "" or server string = anything

It seems that Windows XP makes a registry entry on the first time that it contacts the server and that must be deleted.
