Thanks all for your replies. Likewise http://www.samba.org is also very vague about it.
The typical way is run another workgroup altogether. This seems to be the easiest.
I did try 'startproc'ing multiple copies of smbd and nmbd however the pids are written to files and the option to set a pid name in startproc seems to have no affect on the smbd.pid name created for smbd. Thus only one copy is alive. Multiple processes are created and although thwy have separate IP addresses (on eth aliases), the process errors. (as shown in log.smb)
Likewise
include /dir/workgroup.%L where workgroup.rifrafserver contains workgroup = RIFRAF doesn't work!! Nice try there. It defaults to WORKGROUP and refuses to change.
A proposal.
a modification to samba/smb to allow either workgroup = ADMIN. RIFRAF, WHATEVER ... ie multiple names
or
smbd -w workgroupnameoption -j /path/pid_file_name -u IPaddressOrInterface
Only a late night thought. Should we send it to samba.org??!!
