Ok I instllaed samba about a week ago and go it all working. Everything was working fine until yesterday. Our DSL went out and I noiticed are network was having problems. I also noticed that I couldnt get to our FreeBSD box via our windows machines. SO i went over to the box and ran 'ps -ax' and samba wasnt running. I then checked a few things. (logs, locks, conf) and tried to restart it. Well when i './smbd -D' './nmbd -D' it will create the lock, and log entries, but will not RUN. It shows that it recieved a PID # but it doesnt show up int he ps -ax at all. ANy ideas? I have removed and reinstalled a couple of times Beriah
