How can we let all the clients determine we have changed the share's permission

[chenyun_zhou]

 
 As we know, if we change the permission of windows' file share's permission, the client will determine this. But if we change the file share's permission in the smb.conf , the client can not determine this if it aready connected to the server. How can we let all the samba clients determine the smb.conf's change immediately?
 
Thanks a lot!

I think it's possible, will can send SIGHUP to smbd process to let all daemon read smb.conf, why not let them reevalute their permission at the same time?

Sure, in theory it could be done. But the current Samba code
does not do this. I'll be happy to review a patch :-)
