[opensuse] Remove server info from Samba share name?
When browsing SMB shares with Konqueror, the server info is included along with the server name, as shown here: Linux (Samba 4.1.6-3.18.1-3208-SUSE-oS13.1-x86_64) That info is not present for Windows shares and also not visible on Windows when viewing Linux shares. Is there any way to not show that server info, so that only the server name "Linux" is shown? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Look at your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

man smb.conf
search for default state of "server string"
And if you don't have a Server String line in smb.conf, add one saying anything you want. Its just comments. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As I mentioned in another note, I tried "server string =" and that worked. However, it would be nice if that was mentioned somewhere. It would also be nice if no comment was the default with something added if desired. I don't understand why a user would care about the server info. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The null string is readily inferred from the (uncommon) man page example showing how to produce an arbitrary string.
would also be nice if no comment was the default with something added if desired.
That section of man page (if not the whole thing) is the same in 13.1 as in Rawhide, suggesting that what you would like would be best taken to upstream.

Probably only when a support tech asks what it says, readily available instead of having to explain how to find it manually. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Actually, by Googling, I already came across server string. The default is to show the version number. I had to create a line "server string =" to remove the info. That is not mentioned in smb.conf man page (or anywhere else I found). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
