If you don't add the 'workgroup =' line to smb.conf, then Samba users 
the default, which is 'workgroup = WORKGROUP'. You can test this by 
commenting out the workgroup line in smb.conf (if it is there) and then 
running 'testparm -v', this will show all the default options as well as 
the ones you have added.
