N T
, which represents a Windows NT operating system. Other possible values are
Win95
, which represents a Windows 95 operating system, and
W f W
for a Windows for Workgroup operating system. You can override the default value with the following:
[global]
announce as = Win95
We recommend against changing the default value of this configuration option.
