Topic: Edit Server String

[mikeda411]

I am a new user to sme. What I would like to do is edit the server string. I tried to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf but I notice a warning message that states DON'T MODIFY THIS FILE!. Can some one help me?

I am not familiar with the file structure of SME and i'm not sure which smb.conf file I can edit.

See http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Customizing for explanation.

First you should make a directory where you edit your custom templates:

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf

Then you copy the 11ServerString file as it’s server string you want to change:

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/11ServerString /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf

Edit the /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/11ServerString

to what you prefer, mine is called Linux-SME-Server

Then Expand the template with this command:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

Restart samba with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

And see the change on your windows PC in “My Network Places”

Install the Advanced Workgroup Contrib and change it there:
