AAAH
I've opened almost every file inmy /etc directory, and i have not been able to find it! I would check my MAN pages, but... i don't know what to look for, what command to use.. I looked all over in linuxconf, and still no luck! Does anybody know how to change the workgroup name?

:confused: :mad:

Edit /etc/hostname to change the name of the computer.
Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to change the name of the workgroup.

These are for a Debian 2.2r2 system, but I'm sure other distros will be the same.

<EDIT> If you are using samba, you need to restart samba for these changes to take effect.
