The server string would be the source of the server description.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. I want Ubuntu in Velvet. Here is the relevant part of my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = VELVET
server string = Home base
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
[Music]
comment = Shared Music
path = /shared/music
read only = No
And there are a bunch of other shares that follow. When I run smbclient, though, I get this:
Domain=[BLAISE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Home base) print$ Disk Printer Drivers Downloads Disk Downloaded from the Internet Video Disk Shared Video HTML Disk Shared HTML Images Disk Shared graphics and images Music Disk Shared Music homes Disk Home Directories ita Disk Home Directories Domain=[BLAISE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
Server Comment --------- -------
Workgroup Master --------- ------- MSHOME BLAISE VELVET ZOE
Where Blaise is the Ubuntu box, and Zoe the Vista one.

Samba is not picking up the configuration. Is there any chance that the computer hasn't been rebooted or samba re-init'd since making the change?

Nope. I reload after every edit. And it has picked up all the changes I've made wrt adding shares.

I'm not sure what is going on. The workgroup setting is correct. You might try setting..
domain master = yes preferred master = yes
...to wrest control of VELVET from Vista and see if things straighten themselves out. It might take a minute or so after re-initing. Again, I'm not sure what is up, so this is just a guess.

Thanks. I'm making those changes and heading off to work.

If I wanted to do a paper on how the iPhone was designed, is there documentation out there or is it classified? I'd like to see prototypes, info about the process...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmm... didn't Wired do a big article a while back?

neat trick I just accidently came across in Apple's Address Book. If you hold down the option button while arrowing down the list, if the contact is in a group, it will highlight. I found it very cool. I thought I'd share.

I spent 4.5 hours last night trying to set up my DSL. This was not helped by my ISP giving me the wrong %^&* password. Anyway, I've now got it working if I plug the ethernet cord directly into my laptop, but I can't get it to work with the airport. I used the airport before with my dialup just fine, but now, most of the time it doesn't recognize that the airport is there at all, much less connect to it. I'm using a MacBook with Tiger. Any suggestions?
