The smbd process must be running for that to work.

Well I'm not an expert but that looks okay to me.  Perhaps someone else on the
list could comment?

A couple things to try in the meantime:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop
sudo /etc/init.d/samba start

See if that gets smbd running and check your /var/log/messages and
/var/log/samba/samba.log files for errors.

You don't have your machine set as a domain master, the only way I know of to do
that is to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf directly.  Look at the lines with "master"
in them (man smb.conf).  But AFAIK it should work without having to do that.

If you already have apache installed you might try swat which is a web interface
to configure samba, I myself have never tried it. 


Let us know how it turns out.
