[clug] Fw: SAMBA IS BROKEN <ERROR: nmbd is already running.>

[Duncan Roe]

You should be OK if you rm /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid, shut down & reboot again.
Some process is getting started which has the same process Id as nmb had in a
previous session. The pid file should get re-created.

Cheers ... Duncan.
