[Samba] Rookie Question - Change Computer Name

[Irving Carrion]

Sure SAMBA is configured as PDC & Wins Server on our domain.

MY SMB.CONF FOLLOWS:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = FRUITS
        netbios name = SAMBA
        server string = %h server (Samba %v)
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        null passwords = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
        unix password sync = Yes
        syslog = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        domain admin group = root @wheel
        add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s
/bin/false -M %u
        logon script = logonscript.bat
        logon path = ""
        logon home = ""
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 64
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        admin users = root fpriie

        read only = No
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
        browseable = No

[netlogon]
        comment = Network Logon Service
        path = /home/samba/netlogon
        guest ok = Yes
        share modes = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No
        exec = /bin/mount /cdrom

Samba configured as PDC?

If you have a domain setup I'd say samba can't change the name of the
trust 
account. This actually depends on if you have a domain.
