Sort of creates problems when things get to be TOO automatic. I suggest that you go to the ports and do a make extract, then read ALL the samba man pages and explanatory information very carefully. Setting this stuff up is decidedly nontrivial, in my experience, and I suspect that something, either the Samba release or the FBSD install, has sufficiently changed to mess up the automation. In my experience there is a lot of studying to get Samba set up correctly for a particular environment. And everyone seems to have a set of local customs which dramatically affect their MS operating systems - Unix relationship. I can assure you that Samba works fine on recent versions of FreeBSD. I use it for a very customized print server for Win95 boxes as well as serving files to them.
