Hi,

I dont think that it is related to cupsd, the reason i say this is that 
i have the exact same problem, but my samba was built *without* cups.

I havnt touched my rc.conf since it was put in place a few months ago 
(when it worked fine), so something have changed in samba or something 
is broken in samba which is causing these problems ? i'm not running the 
most current version, currently 6.2-RELEASE-p3, but samba is the latest 
version (samba-3.0.25,1)

Thanks.
Grant.
