[KLUG Members] Re: Quick samba q

[Adam Bultman]

Check this out:  Same configuration:  Reboot into stock kernel, and samba 
works. So, I recompile MY kernel (2.4.16) again, and add more.  Doesn't 
work.  Recompile again, adding just about everything I would ever need. No 
dice.  Get linux-2.4.17 from another box, compile it like I do normally, 
and it worksl ike a gem.  I gues it's just one of those idiosyncrasies of 
linux.
