Well, now with TNG, I get this on attempting to start nmbd:

NetBIOS name list:-
my_netbios_names[0]="GENESIS"
lp_file_list_changed()

Barf.

That IS a valid address on that interface, the mask was right, and it 
worked with 2.0.6!

SMBD appears to work (after it was restarted I could see the shares again)

Ideas?
