Comment 17 for bug 572410

im having the same issue on ubutnu maverick amd64

testparm returns no error on config and the nmbd daemon refuses to start.. i cannot view shares through nautilus on any of my machines..

I've reconfigured samba, smaba-common and samba-common-bin with no result

Here's all my term output for analysis on a reverted default config (which should at least show printers folder):
