Today was: 1) Stanford/UCLA football game (Stanford won), 2) Cal/USC
football game (Cal lost) & got home and couldn't figure out why I
couldn't browse this system via Nautilus/Samba from my other systems.
  Turns out I had enabled the UFW firewall on this system (playing with
firewalls, is like playing with fire... you get burnt sometimes) & took
me nearly two hours to figure out the problem by finally looking at
'sudo iptables -L' and that I really didn't need to do a 'sudo apt-get
purge samba' after all.

So, I shall gladly attempt to perform a 'karmic destroy' update on my
jaunty test system tomorrow. That has to be easier than figuring out
"simple" samba problems :-)
