I've never used webmin, but SWAT will construct a syntactically correct
smb.conf. Of course, that just means that samba won't crash when you
start it; it does not guarantee that what you've configured correctly
from a syntax perspective actually will accomplish anything. You can
check the config file, also, with testparm, which will check that the
sections are built correctly, and then let you see them explicitly.

I *believe* that swat and/or webmin has smb.conf checking utility to
make sure there are no errors in it. You may want to look into
starting those and having it check smb.conf for errors.

Hey all,
I recently installed fedora core 5 and then installed
samba. I
however encountered a problem. The smbd thread would not start. Can
anytone
shead some light on why this might have happened. In the original
installation of the OS I installed samba. However I encountered that
same
problem. The smbd would not start. I then tried installing samba from
the
source and still the same problem. I check the path of the smbd and
it gave
me the OS default path. I tried forcing the installation path but
still the
same problem. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated Thank you.
