[SAMBA] Problem on AppleTV

[steve@wamu]

Ryan,

Thanks for your reply!  I believe that the way I got the Samba3 package was
someone installed the Macports samba3 port, and then just tar'd up their
whole /opt directory to redistribute.  If you follow the link below (the one
with "Enable_SAMBA_server" in the address), you'll see what I mean.  

This package worked fine on the earlier version(s) of the AppleTV software.

Anyway, what kind of information would I need to gather in order to get some
help here?  Do you think doing a ktrace on the daemon is a good idea or
should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks again!

-Steve
