[nflug] samba wont start, fedora core 4, thinkpad x41

[Robert Meyer]

We need to see the script to be able to tell what's happening.  Something to
try would be to add a line before line 83 that echos the line it's trying to
run.  That way, you can see if something evil is being passed in.

Cheers!

Bob
