Ryan, Thanks for your reply! I believe that the way I got the Samba3 package was someone installed the Macports samba3 port, and then just tar'd up their whole /opt directory to redistribute. If you follow the link below (the one with "Enable_SAMBA_server" in the address), you'll see what I mean.
This package worked fine on the earlier version(s) of the AppleTV software. Anyway, what kind of information would I need to gather in order to get some help here? Do you think doing a ktrace on the daemon is a good idea or should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks again! -Steve Ryan Schmidt-24 wrote: > > On Sep 27, 2008, at 15:23, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> I have installed the Macports Samba3 package on my AppleTV (which >> runs a >> stripped down version of OSX 10.4.9), and it is not working (it >> worked fine >> on firmware 1.0 and 1.1... but now with firmware 2.1 it is no longer >> starting). >> >> I followed the instructions found >> http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Enable_SAMBA_server here .
