I cant move the file system because it doesn't exist on the old box anymore.
Both the new an d the old is still up though but the new box shares the homes (
with samba for pc and nfs for unix) and the old box shares some document
directories  ( with samba for pc and nfs for unix). Its on the new box the
trouble is  and I hoped that I would find the solution in samba 2.2.x. The
reason I believe that it is the samba configuration fails is that the nfs shares
"never" fails. It's not my intention to blame anyone, I just want help to get my
environment stable again. You can see my smb.conf file below, if you see any
obvious reason for my problem please tell me....
