[Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line

Run

netstat-a | more

and make sure the port smbd wants to use is NOT in use by some other
process. Just something to check.  Also, check syslog for log messages from
smbd.  Ports 137-139 are the ports you're interested in, I believe.

Peace....

I am looking at it right now... the problem is that smbd will not even
start.  I have tried re-installing and nothing is working.

I try starting smbd -d from the command line and I get no feed back and
SAMBA does not start.  It is not even logging at all.

I must have really messed things up.
