As per the man page of smb.conf, That is because "server string = samba %v" 
is the default value to be displayed in the browse listing.

You could change it to your required needs. But even though in my case, i am 
using samba as  a PDC & changing "server string = Linux" doesnt reflect over 
to my XP clients. I use logon scripts for my users to provide mappings of 
share with 'net use' command.

Even after changing "server string = Linux" , i still gets samba & version 
in the browse listings & drive mappings.

Can any one be of some help to me on this ?

Regards
..Amit..

P.S.  testparm doesnt produce any errors.
