Changed made to smb.conf, must restart? Anyway to restart without killing clients?

[Steven Hildreth]

Hi, say I make a change to my samba server (smb.conf) like add a
share.

Then I want to be able to have clients connect to this share.

Is the only way for me to get samba to see this share is to restart
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart)? This closes my open clients. With a
network of 85 clients (around 60 open) seems to be sort of a pain.

Any suggestions?
