If I understand correctly, in order to have the smb.conf file applied
you need to restart smbd.
Is "service smbd reload" sufficient (which does a "killproc smbd -HUP")?
Will this kill any active connections to samba resources causing user
disruption? Or is this a seamless process that can be carried out
midday?
I ask because if I need to kill all user connections to production
shares in order to test different share parameters that changes my
approach.
Thanks,
Andrew
