OK I'm comming to the conclusion that basically Samba is broken on
this machine I know it is on the other though it does see other machines.


So can anyone tell me how I get Samba back to it's out of the box
default settings? I'll try and sstart all over again as there's simply
too much guff in Samba that means diddly squat to me and I'm lost with
it so it would be better to start over

Any help out there guys ????

oh one reason I'm comming to this conclusion is I got this error
message a few times
sh: winbindd: not found

as I say it means diddly squat to me
