if i restart it by hand, it seems to stay up until i shut the whole system 
down.  for the sake of trying, i built another system from scratch (minimal 
freebsd load), mounted my ports via nfs (from the computer thats having 
problems, actually), and built samba3 from ports for this other computer.  
copied over the config, smapasswd added myself, and rebooted the computer.  
the error does not occur.

so i figured i would just pkg_delete the samba on the problem computer and 
rebuild it again from ports... no joy.  after i got it built and config'd 
again, same thing on reboot.  the problem computer is a full desktop machine, 
with xorg 7.2 (unlike my other test machine, which only has minimal install).  
could there be something underlying from xorg 7.2 thats affecting the way 
samba starts at boot time, but doesnt affect if it started by hand?  after 
the xorg 7.2 merge, im sure weve all noticed the giant amount of ports cvs 
traffic, and ive even watched several of my apps go from broken to working 
again over the past few days, surely due to the changes related to /usr/X11R6 
to /usr/local/.
