Remove all the old CSWsamba packages.

Go get Samba 3.0.31 at
http://www.blastwave.org/testing/samba-3.0.31,REV=2008.08.22-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.bz2

Or try Samba 3.2.2 :

http://www.blastwave.org/testing/samba-3.2.2,REV=2008.08.22-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz

Pick one .. only one.

Install it.

You need to create your own /etc/init.d/cswsamba .. but I suggest
something like this :

http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/stuff/samba/samba_3x_cswsamba.txt

then create your smb.conf in /opt/csw/etc/samba

Let me know how it goes.
