Samba died

[Timothy Wilson <wilson@visi.com>]

Hey everyone,

Something very strange happened the other day to my Debian server.

I walked back to my desk after class and discovered that my screensaver
wouldn't clear. It turns out that the dept. file server was turned off. :-(
I have no idea why. Perhaps someone pushed the button (it sits back in one
of our stockrooms). Perhaps some weird hardware or power failure.

I rebooted the machine and everything seemed fine. But now samba doesn't
work. My colleagues who use Win95 can't access their directories on the
server. I use NFS and I'm not having any trouble at all.

I originally had samba running from inetd, but I reconfigured it to run as a
daemon. It seems like samba just isn't answering requests. Any ideas about
how I can diagnose this problem? I'm stumped.
