Sorry about having to reply to my own post but you will need 
to restart the samba service after editing the smb.conf by either:

login as root
edit the /etc/smb.conf (details below:)
run: testparm smb.conf to verify that the new config file is 
ok. If not, re-edit the file and test again.
 
Red Hat systems & Linux systems that run samba from the 
/etc/rc.d/init.d directory:

run: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

other systems that don't run samba from /etc/rc.d/init.d directory:
 
run the attached script on the samba server (will require 
transferring to any area on the samba machine) by typing:
 
chmod 755 killdm ; ./killdm smbd
 
This will re-load samba with the new configuration.
 
HTH,
 
Paul Rogers,
Development Analyst.
