First, bite the bullet, and do it command line style. First, you need to know if you need to restart your smbd/nmbd daemon style or not. Do a

ps auxw | grep mbd

If you see something like "smbd -D" and "nmbd -D" then they are running daemon style. Honestly that is the only way I know to run them.

 

After editing your /etc/samba/smb.conf file by hand, you can give your samba daemons a HUP like this:

killall -HUP smbd

and also with nmbd after changing something more related to names/domain/workgroup, than actual shares. This will cause your changes to take effect, I.E. the programs will re-read the config file. Typically the default config file shipped in the RPM is good enough to get started.

 

If smbd/nmbd aren't even running yet, then start them as root.

nmbd &
smbd &

You don't have to give the -D because that is the default.
