:Assuming that you have Samba already installed, just find smb.conf (I
:won't even *try* and guess where it could be)

It's in /etc/samba/smb.conf

and add/change the
:"workgroup = FOOBAR" in the [global] section in the config file.
:Restart samba (/etc/init.d/samba restart, perhaps) and you're done.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
