I can't test what FC7 does, at the moment.  But on CentOS (probably an
older Samba than what you're playing with), if you comment it out, you
get "WORKGROUP".  The prepared config file has "MYGROUP" as the
suggested entry in a comment, but it's not its default.

Going from memory, WORKGROUP used to be the default used in Windows.
But more recently, MYGROUP is used as the default.

You can browse another workgroup, not always easily, though.

Play with "testparm -v" if you want to see how Samba is configured.  You
can see your configurations and the defaults.
