Luke,

Well, looking at the messages, it appears that Samba is starting up just 
fine, but that for whatever reason SWAT simply is not reporting it 
correctly. For what it's worth, I never use SWAT myself -- I just edit the 
smb.conf file in vi, since it's a fairly easy file to deal with. Also, I 
was talking with one of the sysadmins at my ISP yesterday -- they run 
mostly Linux there, with some *BSD -- and he said that SWAT is "flaky". 
Unfirtunately, he did not specify in what way, and at the time I did not 
bother asking for more.

Anyway, since the log messages show no errors and in fact Samba appears to 
be starting just fine, can you see the computer in Network Neighborhood? 
If not, can you Start > Find > Computer and then see the computer? If you 
do see the coimputer, can you access the shared test folder?

(Obviously, I will assume that you have created the directory 
export/samba/test, and given it the appropriate permissions. For testing, 
'chmod 777 export/samba/test' should do the trick.)

Let me know,
Dave
