Hi there. :)
After some frustrating hours of trying to set up SAMBA, by the book, I'm now
faced with SWAT telling me that neither SMBD or NMBD are running. Curious
thing is that they are when I check running processes. Further..when I
restart SMBD SWAT reports it as not running but it does show a connection.
This lasts through one 30 second refresh period then vanishes.
A check of the log files shows all this happening with the comment every time
that the services are running.
Getting smbclient to work isn't helping, either. Though I'm so confused now
that I'm probably doing something wrong. :)
Either way, this isn't particularly trivial. I'm trying to link up a couple
of Winblows boxes to my Linux box as well as wipe out the Windows partition
on this machine. As long as I have to keep going into Windows to file and
print share the latter isn't possible and constantly rebooting isn't overly
convienient, either.
So...help!!!!!!
Here's my config file if that helps. :)

I know there are one or two minor problems there, but it passes all the

thanks.
