I am trying to get a small network set up under FC6 to work with my WinXP
machines through a router. When I make changes to smb.conf I would like to
kill the running Samba and restart it without rebooting. Is this possible
and how do I go about it?

Obviously, I've not much experience with Linux and have Googled the question
to death. Most things suggest smb as the executable but for some reason I
can't fine anything about smb on my disk other than smb.conf. Perhaps FC6
uses a different name.

Thanks for any help on this.

As root type: service smb restart
