I have a RHEL5.4 server that serves out a cifs share. 
Authentication is done locally and the server is not on the domain.

The client is in the domain.  Whenever I send SIGHUP to nmbd I get the following

May  2 04:02:03 grsamba nmbd[21462]:   Got SIGHUP dumping debug info. 
 May  2 04:02:03 grsamba nmbd[21462]: [2010/05/02 04:02:03, 0] nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:dump_workgroups(282)

Here is my smb.conf
I set my workgroup name to CORPNTP and the netbios name to the name of the cifs server
I don't seem to have any problems, but I wanted to determine if this were a significant issue.
