samba fails to start

[martmonkey]

I wanted to setup samba shares in my local machine today to share with my windows media center. So i deleted the smb.conf and created a blank smb.conf to work on.

i added following to blank smb.conf


[global]
guest account = pcguest
workgroup = SAMBA

;Increment 1: Free-to All directory: Scratchdisk
[Music]
comment = Music
path = /home/murat/Music
read only = no
public = yes

saved the smb.conf and restarted the samba with

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

But samba failed to start everytime i tried to start with no error messages

I just don't get where i am going wrong

Re: samba fails to start

This may seem a stupid question but are all things samba (samba, smbfs, smbclient) installed? Because some, like samba are, for some unfathomable reason, not by default.

I hope this helps
