> SAMBA 2.0.6 allows the smbd process to be run interactively
Sure, 2.2.7 kept that very interesting feature for debugging. The syntax is RUN SAMBA_ROOT:[BIN]SMBD -i -dn n being the debug (trace) level you want. Between 3 and 5 is usually enough to have a lot of information. Before doing that, however, you'll have to $ TCPIP disable service SMBD and to stop any SMBD_* process of the system. Note that this feature is also available for NMBD. PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
