Hi, I had a longstanding issue with my Touch. I could not mount remotely the USB drive attached to it from my WinXP and Linux PCs. I decided to investigate, so I remotely log-in via SSH.
The first issue I found was that smbd was not started. The log file complained that the pid file did exist and it was assuming that smbd was already running. I removed the pid file and ran "/etc/init.d/samba restart", and now I could see smbd in the process list. After that, I changed the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf.dist to be the workgroup used by my other PCs. Not only it look nicer, but it also make browsing the touch and its shares faster. I would love for such option to be added to the GUI... The second issue was that the password used by samba was not the password displayed in the GUI. I don't know if the GUI failed to set the samba password, or if the samba password was reset during one of my reboot. As I did not remember the original samba password, I re-set it using "smbpasswd root". After that, I can mount the USB drive on both WinXP and Linux, and everything seems to work fine. I'll see if it survive my next reboot... I hope this will help a fellow users. And I hope the developers will find better workaround...
