Just downloaded 4.1b3 haven't had a chance to install it yet.  So not sure if this applies anymore.  I looked through the developer archive and didn't find anything. Been using 4.01 just fine for our corporate print server.  RH 7.0 worked as a print server but would just bomb 5 or 6 times a day.  Had to killall -HUP lpd each and everytime.

E-smith 4.01 has been working flawlessly.  One thing is I don't have any accounts added at all.  Can you add in the web interface Guest ok = yes
I have to change it in smb.conf

Another thing is each time I added a printer for it to show up to clients nmbd has to be restarted.  A way I figured out how to do it via the web rather than telnetting in was to go to
Configuration | Workgroup | and changed Domain master from YES to NO then SAVE and then from NO to YES and SAVE.  This essentially restarted nmbd. Can you simply add a restart smbd and nmbd option?
