Samba deamon (smbd) dies, nmdb keeps running

[Cedric]

Hi All,

Yesterday I have installed samba on my kubuntu 7.04 box, and i've started to 
play with it's settings. If i remember correctly, both the deamons (smbd, and 
nmbd) kept running.
After a reboot, and more fiddling with the settings (in /etc/samba/smb.conf), 
i noticed smbd wasn't running.
Could you please tell me what i can do to investigate this problem further?
Best regards,
Cedric

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask
