For a change to the primary Samba configuration file smb.conf to take effect, it is necessary to:
A. Restart the smbd and nmbd processes.
B. Send a HUP signal to the smbd and nmbd processes.
C. Do nothing.
D. Reboot the system.
E. Restart the Samba subsystem.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: Whenever you make changes to the smb.conf file, it is necessary to restart the smbd and nmbd processes. Smbd regularly reads the smb.conf file and implements any changes. However, these changes don’t affect any previously established connections. To apply the changes to any previously established connections, you must restart smbd and nmbd.

Incorrect Answers
B:If you have Samba configured to be started by inetd, you could send inetd a HUP signal to restart it, but you wouldn’t send smbd and nmbd and HUP signal.
C:To apply the changes to any existing connections, it is necessary to restart smbd and nmbd.
D:Rebooting the system would work if you have configured samba to start automatically. However, restarting the entire system is unnecessary.
E:You should restart nmbd as well as smbd.
