Net :: How to modify Samba extension

Okay, got it all working. The problem was that the smbpasswd file got corrupted. A new one gets created automatically if the old file is deleted or missing (e.g., smbpasswd -a name).

Thanks to John Martzouco for the kill code. I wonder why there's no 'init.d/smb restart' code with the extention.

note: I don't know how others are handling this, but I'm overwriting the /etc/samba/smb.conf file with a wrapper when loading the unc.
edit: also the /usr/bin/smbpasswd.

EDIT: Samba networked HP deskjet worked flawlessly. The gimp drivers did the trick, although I'll experiment with Juanito's extentions a bit see if there's anything specific to the HPdeskjet940C. (note: the HP stp/pcl-895 gimp drivers already work very well).

EDIT2...damn...how did I miss juanito's sambi.uci extension, with all the documentation!!!!!!

I haven't found a way to turn samba off and back on without rebooting.

- you can just do this, no? (works for me):

Code Sample

$ sudo /usr/sbin/smbd restart
$ sudo /usr/sbin/nmbd restart
[or]
$ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/smbd restart
$ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/nmbd restart

- I was just about to mention that, however, it is a bunch larger than the original samba extension and the icon is strange

Thanks for the tip....the only code I found for smbd was "smbd -D" to start. "smbd start" also seems to work. The code I found for stopping was "killproc smbd", but the 'killproc' command isn't recognized on my setup.
