When I tried starting the daemon manually with debug level set to 3 or 4 it just showed Samba starting and then loading some parameters from the smb.conf file. When I came back from lunch about an hour ago I found the damned thing was running! Now all the Win98 boxen on the sub-net it supports can see it!! No Problem!!! It's a good thing I keep my hair cut very short, otherwise I'd be pulling it out. I am afraid I will never find out what the damned thing was doing for the last three days while I was trying to get it to run. I will probably never find out why it suddenly stopped doing anything and was undetectable. Well, one good thing, I guess is that it got me to upgrade. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
