Samba

[Chris Brennan]

Greetings!

I have FreeBSD8.2 running on an x86 box and samba sharing a hardware
raid1 array with zfs ontop and something strange happened today. Samba
stopped accepting connections for some reason and I can't figure out why.
I'm not sure if this is freebsd-specific or if it's a samba-only issue. But
I can
note that it had been working fine for months, the box itself has been up
for
23 days w/o incident.

I don't get it, it was working this morning, I changed nothing (in fact,
this is
the first time I logged in as root in several days and there is no outside
access to this box). I connected to it this morning to map it's shares on my
laptop and then noticed I couldn't connect to those very same shares on my
desktop.

As you can see, samba is running and the port is open

[root at ziggy ~]# ps auxf | grep -e smbd -e nmbd

So I don't get what gives.
