I recently had a bit of a problem with my networked HD.  A few days ago, it stopped allowing me to copy files over.  I tried resetting the connection, remounting, and still no dice.  To make things even more interesting, I am able to mount the HD through ssh, access the files through sftp, just no samba.  I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I'm not sure what command I'm not using. 

Bottom line: Samba used to work, no longer works.  Does not work on either of my OSX or Windows PCs.

Let me know if I need to post anything in reply.  Thanks.

I am using Kamikaze + Linksys WRTSL54GS.

Are both nmbd and smbd running?

Have you tried restarting Samba (/etc/init.d/samba stop; /etc/init.d/samba start)?

Hope this helps,
Charlie

They are...here are the processes running:

When I try to stop Samba, it shows this:
/etc/rc.common: kill: 13: (1511) - No such process
/etc/rc.common: kill: 13: (1508) - No such process

When I start Samba, it just sits there for a few seconds, and I assume starts (which is what it used to do).

EDIT: There were a few users on my smb share earlier this week, but no longer.  I don't know how to check whether they are still "locked in" or if that is even causing the problem.

EDIT 2: After a while, I also notice that smbd stops running.
