Nah not running se-linux but I found my problem. Somehow I got a
non-printable character in the smb.conf file on the line "force user =
root", so it wasnt really trying to force the root user but a non
existent user. (which is exactly what the damn log file was telling me
I just pulled my hair out before toggling non-printables on in my
editor and it was plain as day) I had copied my smb.conf to a vista pc
using cifs before reinstalling, then I cut and pasted it back, so it
got garbled somehow.
Thanks,
