The drive in my linux server died a few days ago, so I was forced to rebuild
it from scratch... Everything has been configured mostly the way I had it,
except Samba... For some reason, it refuses to keep the password I've
assigned between boots.

When I first brought it up, I created a 'smbusr' with a password (say 'foo')
and was able to log in from my Windows box no problem. I then ran an update
on the server that required a restart and, when it came back up, I couldn't
log in with my Windows machine. Thinking I had maybe forgotten the password,
I ran 'sudo smbpasswd smbusr' and reset it to 'foo'. After that, I could get
back in.

On a hunch, I rebooted the server again and ran into the same problem! I
can't log into my Samba share until I run smbpasswd again! Surely, it's
something stupid I'm missing... Could anyone point me in the right
direction?
