i tried doing this the right way, ie, with manifests and methods.
didn't work. so, i copied the methods to /etc/init.d,
and manually started them there, to prove that the methods, at least
weren't broken. this does get the daemons to start, and i DO get
access from my peecee.

/etc/init.d/arl_smbd start
/etc/init.d/arl_nmbd start
/etc/init.d/arl_winbindd start

i did join the domain.

well, using those SAME methods and--well, i __hope__--appropriate
manifests, i can't get them to start. i __believe__ if they'll
start then i can join the domain later, and... it'll be okay.

but trying to figure out why they aren't starting isn't going well.

tried looking up the ...208 msg on sunsolve, got a bunch of "stop-a" hits.

and it looks like it gets started, and something comes along to kill it.
ie, it says start exited with status zero.

i presume whatever blunder i've made is common to all three, since i did them
as close to one another as i could.

ps -ef | grep mb

so nothing is running.

ummm. does this tell anybody anything?

if i edit the manifest, do i have to re-import every time?
