I did find that Samba does not always pick up the changes to smb.conf, or at
least as quick as I want, so I generally just do a /sbin/init.d/smb restart
just to kick start the changes. But that is paranoia. 
BTW: In my previous post I did forget about starting samba by inetd rather
than on boot up.
