"hosed", circa 1983, in this context essentially means FUBAR which is
just a US
Mil. acronym for "Fouled (or your favorite F word) Up Beyond All
Recognition."

I had been using the words "hosed" or "boned", but they can
have bad
connotations, particularly right after an organization goes through sexual 
harassment training!

I learned a new one a few months ago, from "The Internet Help Desk"
comedy
routine (e-mail me for how to find it, if you have not heard it):  that 
word is "pooched" as in "Gee, I guess your registry got
pooched".

Oh, and to make this Samba related, I was able to log into my Samba box 
once I added in a mapping to the UNIX group '+GROUPNAME' on valid users 
entry on the Globals page of SWAT.
