10.5: How to set the Windows Workgroup
Authored by: dewab on Wed, Nov 7 2007 at 8:45AM PST

Playing with the config, if left on automatic, the workgroup name doesn't seem to persist across location changes (and possibly reboots?) whereas if you create a new Location, it persists with that location.

The file that is altered is /var/run/smb.conf if you want to watch it during location changes.
