From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Setting the workgroup name as "workgroup" removes the workgroup setting in smb.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-samba-1.2.9-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the system-config-samba GUI. 2. Select from menu "Preferences" -> "Server Settings" 3. For the Workgroup text field, enter "workgroup" 4. Press OK. 5. Quit system-config-samba GUI. Actual Results: Check /etc/samba/smb.conf, "workgroup = workgroup" does not exist. Running system-config-samba, open "Preferences" -> "Server Settings" from the menu. Note that Workgroup text field is empty. Expected Results: The workgroup name "workgroup" should be saved in /etc/samba/smb.conf. This is a legal workgroup name. Additional info: This was actually noticed first in FC1's redhat-config-samba. Bug never reported in.
Should be fixed in system-config-samba-1.2.10-1 in Rawhide. Thanks for your report.
