Any suggestions?

Havent worked with Samba, but, here is my guess...

I looked at /etc/init.d folder, and found that a "samba" shell script exists, upon examination, it appears the script is "standard" start / stop form... i.e. init.d scripts "expect" to be passed a parameter of either start or stop, and then either start the services, or stop them, depending on the passed parameter....

My best guess here, is, the following command should do the trick:

/etc/init.d/samba start

and to stop, the following:

/etc/init.d/samba stop

you probably want to do this as a root, not sure though...

Hope this has helped,
