On my Windows XP and 200 boxes the shares that I have mapped in a login
script have their descriptions set to the following:
downloads on 'Samba Sever 2.2.6pre2' (M:)
This would be fine if I had set server string = Samba Server %v in the
smb.conf file.
However I have this set to server string = Samba.
When I browse the network on the Windows boxes the correct description
appears for the server - Samba (calais)
Excerpt from smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = INNWEBTECH
netbios name = calais
server string = Samba
security = user
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = Yes
Excerpt login script has the following line:
net use M: \\calais\downloads
Does anyone know how to set the correct description for the share on mapped
drives?
