Reconciling SMB-Linux share names with Windows
Reconciling SMB-Linux share names with Windows
(OP)
How do I "fix" the long drive names displayed in local workstations (WinXP) "My Computer", so they agree with the data in my smb.conf file and Linux "smbclient -L" displays?
Problem:
I'm running XP workstations under a SMB 3.4.0 domain server called JAM. Shares seem to be operating smoothly, but the "drive naming" under WinXP clients is different. Look at the samba shares from the server...
Yet the info displayed in WinXP My Computer is different:
It looks to me like the names are getting generated by the old default "server string" variable from orig.smb.conf:
But in /etc/samba/smb.conf I have reset that string to ...which displays correctly under smbclient -LWhy am I getting share-names under XP derived from a "server string" syntax that's not even in my smb.conf file? I've grep'd "(Samba, Ubuntu)" and it doesn't appear in /etc/smb.conf or any samba configuration file I can find (other than un-used original versions).
I'm stumped!

So is this a winbind problem?
Is there some way to "force" the names to propagate faster?
Do I need to restart winbind along with /etc/initi.d/samba?
If so, before or after?
