->One of the best diagnostic tools for debugging problems is Samba itself. You can use the -d

- level can range from 1 (the default) to around 100 but a debug level of about 20 will
- normally help you find any errors that samba is encountering. Another helpful method
- of debugging is to compile samba using the gcc -g flag. This will include debug
- information in the binaries and allow you to attch gdb to the running smbd / nmbd
- process. In order to attach gdb to an smbd process for an NT workstation, first
- get the workstation to make the connection. Pressing ctrl-alt-delete and going down
- to the domain box is sufficient (at least, on the first time you join the domain) to
- generate a 'LsaEnumTrustedDomains'. Thereafter, the workstation maintains an open
- connection, and therefore there will be an smbd process running (assuming that you
- haven't set a really short smbd idle timeout) So, in between pressing ctrl alt
