Hello. I've been using Samba for several months now at my office and have recently run into a rather perplexing problem. Whenever I type "smb start" (as root) it will hang indefinitely with the words, "Starting SMB Services:" on the screen, and will not start the processes necessary to enable file sharing. I don't think I've made any changes to the system since Samba was last working properly. Also, I've tried starting the processes manually by typing, "smbd start" and "nmbd start". nmbd starts without any problems, but smbd still hangs indefinitely. I REALLY like Samba a lot, and I also need to be able to share files from my Linux box with other Windows computers on the network. Do you know why it's doing this? Any idea of what I can do to correct it? I've searched the web for this problem but have come up blank. Thanks very much for your help. --Dane
