[Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line

[Joel Hammer]

Hmmmm..
You said the server was running in your first post.

OK. What happens when you type:
which smbd

If you get a response, then try smbd 
This should start the daemon. I don't get any feedback when it starts up.
Try:
ps ax | grep smbd
to see if it is running
