[Samba] Help: dfree command

[Joel Hammer]

What happens when you try to run the dfree command directly?
eg:
/usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree   
Maybe you didn't set the executable flag on the dfree script?
If you don't know what I mean, post the output of:
ls -al /usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree
