thank you very much for the suggestion.
I checked my dmesg -a and I came up with these errors concerning samba:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting SAMBA: removing stale tdbs :
Starting nmbd.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0"

Starting smbd.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0"

ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib
a.out ldconfig path: /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so I acted :

avid# locate libintl.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6
avid# cp /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 /usr/lib/libintl.so.6
avid# reboot

and smb started normally...
so I guess --read the errors--!!
but, why didn't it find the "/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6" and
had to be copied to "/usr/lib" ??
To quote from your original post:

"I have recently setted up fBSD 6.0 stable and installed + configured samba 3, which 
works fine...up to the point of a restart."

So, you installed from source, or from the ports/packages system?
It reads like you installed from source, to me.

If you installed from source, I would expect that you forgot to
tell the configure script where the libraries were, or it was too
dumb to find them; if you had used ports/packages, it would have been handled automagically for you (which is the reason to use said system
in the first place).

If you did indeed install from ports/packages, it would be good
to know, because something *might* be broken.  But, I *strongly*
suspect that it's simply a misconfiguration, unfortunately, on
your part --- you installed from source and missed setting the
proper location for libs, which, on FreeBSD, is /usr/local/lib
for this internationalization lib...

At least it's working now, right?  Good catch of the problem!
