Can't change samba workgroup

Hi,

I am using Unslung 6.8 and just installed the SAMBA 3.
Used the working sample smb.conf with a few minor
modification, It 
worked. However when I changed the workgroup, whatever name
I gave to 
workgroup, it would go back to the original one
"Worksgroup" when I 
rebooted. 
I tried to change all the smb.conf and the problem  still
exists.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for your help.

Jian

There are two possibilities:
	1) The old version is running again
	   --> Stop the old version in the boot process and
	       start the new one
	2) The boot procedure overwrites the smb configuration
	   with the standard linksys configuration added with
	   the local changes made through the webinterface.
	   --> Overwrite the configuration before starting the
	       new version.

Verify which of those two is the cause.

After that fix it.
