I have 2 Debian machines with samba installed. On one machine it works (except for the printers, I'll figure that out later) and on the other [sn]mbd won't start.
I need to get samba running so a windows machine with a printer can read a couple files and print them >From /var/log/smb : [2001/05/23 21:58:14, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) smbd version 2.0.8 started.

Ok, so something is already using the port ... what is using that port and why? I don't see anything in netstat -- either on this machine or the one with samba working.
