1) I suppose that the default workgroup in Samba is MYGROUP: am I wrong?

2) I doubt that from a Windows machine joining WORKGROUP as workgroup
you can jump in workgroups different from WORKGROUP. But I am not an
expert of workgroupping in Windows :-)

3) If I remove the ; from the workgroup line I can see the correct
name of workgroup and afterwards it may be changed (and change is
recorded in samba.conf)!!!
