How to make the change
Q On my Linux system I have a few folders shared for Windows
networking. I can access these, but the shares show up in ‘mshome’ instead of
‘workgroup’. How can I change this?
Olivia Reynolds
A Distributions usually have configuration tools for setting the domain or workgroup on the Samba server. You can edit the configuration file directly. It’s usually at /etc/samba/smb.conf. Edit the file and look for the line ‘workgroup = mshome’ and make the change there.
