restarting services Samba FC3

[FrankBlourtango]

It seems that I have to restart linux in order for changes in my Samba config to take effect.

Can't I just stop and start a service? Even so I can't find Samba as a service.

I haven't used Fedora but with Red Hat, you could always start, stop, restart and query the status of a service with the service command. Since Samba is reffered to as smb, try these commands:

service smb stop
service smb start
service smb restart
service smb status

Of course, you'll need to be root to use them.
