Problem defining the Samba workgroup

I'm running a Samba server on lucid. I am attempting to define the workgroup as KAPPA_NET, but the server insists on using WORKGROUP.
/etc/samba/smb.conf shows that
workgroup=KAPPA_NET
I've tried restarting both smbd and nmdb with
sudo service smbd restart
sudo service nmdb restart
...and verified that both services stopped and restarted
Yet probing the LAN from either windows or lucid show that the server is on WORKGROUP
Also, running smbclient -L //127.0.0.1 from the server returns:
Domain=[KAPPA_NET] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7]

KAPPA_NET PS-B810
WORKGROUP DUMBLEDORE
Where PS-P810 is the name of a windows machine on the LAN that is a member of the workgroup KAPPA_NET and dumbledore is the name of the machine running Samba.
Why isn't the server reporting that is a member of KAPPA_NET?
