 I have played around on a test VM to see if I can get this working,
It looks like if I use the Sysconfig-Samba tool (VERY basic) as the
FIRST point of contact/setup then things do go better although I am
still not getting it all 100% working...

 I am now leaning to FreeNAS as a solution instead of struggling with
Samba, I guess FreeNAS is also making use of Samba but hey they handle
all the stuff in the back ground. I will keep you up to date to let
you know what solution finally worked for me and if I can find any
specifics on why MY Samba setup does not work.

 Thanx
