Been said before.

Needs saying again.


Samba only supports ONE workgroup!  It does not distribute information
about any workgroup (to clients or other MBs) about any workgroup except
the one in its 'workgroup =' line in smb.conf


There was once a Multi Workgroup version of Samba that Luke put together,
but I rather think it's dropped out of sight now.
