[Samba] RE: Add directory share without killing samba?

[Hulslander, Ryan]

You're quite right... I found it mentioned after I had asked the question. I
swear I looked for it before but it was eluding me something fierce. I've
been adding "favorites" now to by browser list like a fiend and it's helping
:-)

Now - if I can only get a real grip on permissions I'll be set. :-)

Thanks to All!

Ryan

You're not googling far enough.

I believe smbd re-reads smb.conf from time to time, but if you're in
a hurry, a "kill -HUP <smbd-PID>" over all smbd processes won't be a
massacre - it'll just prompt them to re-read smb.conf immediately.
