samba - Mar 2016 - Starting & Stopping Samba (smb.conf modifications)

Hello,

     If I make a change to the smb.conf file. Can I simply invoke 
'smbcontrol all reload-config', or must I kill all samba services and 
restart them?

For most changes you can do 'smbcontrol all reload-config'. From my 
experience, changes in shares often require a restart of the services.

besides that SIGHUP reloads configs when i comment out a share it 
disappears without a hard restart- the only problem are as so often 
apple clients which are closing the connecting due a reload (a few days 
ago cleaned up samab configs, SIGHUP and the phone ringed because two 
users got a disconnect message)

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ > samba.log
[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ killall -s SIGHUP smbd
[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat samba.log

P.S.: i *hate* this cluttering with source-files and lines
