[lug] Samba and passwd

Ok, this was definately missing. And I got it looking the way the
source/docs indicate but still getting a bad password message while
mapping the drive. 

But I have now run into a problem where running smbd -D just terminates
silently and there are no smbd processes. Windoze is telling me it can't
find the server now. I did re-compile and still the new binary won't start
up. Any suggestions... anyone... help?? How do I do this to myself??

Thanks,
