I restart samba (I added a new share) and none of the win2k boxen on the lan
can access the machine any more, the workgroup ceases to exist and all
shares + printers no longer function.

I have to get the win 2k users to reboot (simply restarting the network on
the boxes does nothing)

Did you check if it did start and without errors?

The init script showed nothing, which log file should I look in?

I didnt suspect any errors as its only the windows boxes on the lan that
appear to have a problem

requested file follows, but it mostly seems to contain refrences to a
problem in the printers section of my smb.conf file - nothing thats hints
at the win2k problem I am having
