Turns out that testparm sort of works, but is strange.

I just did a "net conf setparm global workgroup WORKGROUP""

and then testparm which doesn't display workgroup but if I do instead

net conf setparm global "server string" "a Samba 4.5 server"


then testparm does show it.  Weird that various parms are not listed
(leases and workgroup)
