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.)
