-- no debconf information
Like the other(s), a purge and reinstall didn't allow the service to set up
properly. What I did was back up my /etc/samba directory, then copy
/etc/samba/smb.conf.ucf-dist to /etc/samba/smb.conf, and then copy my
customizations to the file from my original smb.conf, including my share
definitions, etc. I have no idea if this is safe or sane, but it allowed samba
to set up and run.
