[MiNT] Samba

[Peter Slegg <p.slegg@scubadivers.co.uk>]

I haven't started the samba daemon for a couple of months
and I am having some trouble with it.

When I started samda the Milan runs very, very slowly so I stopped
samba but it stayed running slow. A look at the processes shows
lots of smbd

I couldn't kill these so opened the task mgr and the cpu
graphs were as high as the task mgr window ! It was able to
kill them using the rather tasteless skull icon and full speed
was restored.

I've never seen samba behave like this before.
