It’s nice that Jaguar includes Samba support, but if you already had it installed (via fink, for example), Jaguar seems to stop any but the official Samba release from running.
As noted hereI added a line in /etc/hostconfig fo enable the samba daemons to start at boottime. For whatever reason, the fink managed versions don’t run and since Apple calls it SMBSERVER instead of SAMBA and it’s start value defaults to NO, samba just mysteriously stopped working.
SAMBA=-YES-
CUPS=-YES-
DNSSERVER=-NO-
IPV6=-YES-
SMBSERVER=-NO-
So I could change the SMBSERVER value to YES but I don’t see a StartupItem bundle for it. And why does the version I had installed and working no longer work?
The upshot is the fink installed version works, Apple’s doesn’t, even from the command line, so far as I can tell. I’ll investigate further.
