I have been using Samba w/out any problems what so ever for the longest time, but today, I cannot connect to the linux box (shows up in network neighborhood as 'LINUXSERVER'), but when I try to connect from a win2K machine (which normally connects w/NO problems). Here is the output from /var/log/messages (appears the problem is in smbd) May 23 11:34:14 fileserver nmbd[1423]: [2002/05/23 11:34:14, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:sig_term(65) May 23 11:34:14 fileserver nmbd[1423]: Got SIGTERM: going down...
