load_interfaces() - a call to read in the "interfaces = " line, or to
auto-detect local interfaces.
there is no reload_interfaces() call. load_interfaces() is a one-off.
therefore, if you change your interfaces (as happens at imperial college:
they have a system where a number of machines distribute the routing
load) then you must kill nmbd.
plus, we don't have a re-initialise mechanism for the workgroup / server
structures. well, that's not true - samba will respond to the browser
reset message, although i've never tested it.
