It is used in place of the # to show that this is a parameter can be turned on by removing the ;, as opposed to the explanation text after the #. You will run into this fairly often in config files. You get a blank workgroup name because both the lines nameing the workgroup are commented out, so you have not given the workgroup a name.

tnx for quick answer...now the question is: 1) why nothing is changed in my samba.conf file if I write workgroup in that line? 2) why I see the shared directory from a Windows machine where workgroup is the name of workgroup??? -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
