Phew, finally got it back working again. It seems the tarball version needs
to know where the password file is located using 'smb passwd file =
path' Thanks to Ricky C. The version I used before was an rpm version
and this parameter did not exist in the smb.conf file. Now have samba back
up again as well as smb_auth working nicely for Squid.
