Samba Problems
Running Samba 2.0.7 on a FreeBSD machine.
Getting the following messages in the samba-specific log files.
[2001/10/22 08:38:18, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641)
smbd version 2.0.7 started.

Also recently have been getting the following errors; it seems like something is causing the smbd daemon to stop and restart but I dunno what nor why.

I'm a Samba newbie, any tips on what to look for would be appreciated.

Remove /var/run/smbd.pid and start the script again.
