Samba Daemon dying

[Ho'ala Greevy]

I'm still here! been sleeping under desks alot more lately in an effort to
try and pull the company's first official product into shape, the
hoalagreevy.com Open Business Server.  

In a nutshell, i've bundled a dozen or so open source apps that as a
whole, directly compete with Microsoft's Small Business Server 2000.  
very excited about this one, lots of potential.  

*shameless plug* => www.hoalagreevy.com/products.html

okay but back to question at hand, i'd start with the logs.  i'm guessing
that with your particular version, your log files are in /var/log/samba/

if you have these lines in your smb.conf file, then debugging is a bit
easier:

log level = 2   
log file = /var/log/samba/smb.%m

you might wanna go with log level 3, but anything above that will
be rubbish litter to most people.  the .%m option will log connections by
the machine's netbios name, which can really help out.  

let me know if that helps any.
