[newbie] Access control violation /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start failed - help please

[Marco Baiotto]

Hi, I have installed a simple samba that uses a simple samba authentication
database. It has worked fine until last week and I have not changed anything
in my configuration files but suddenly I can't access my samba shares from
my Windows Xp Professional machine.
If I restart manually the smb service from a console, I receive
the message that smb and nmb daemons were restarted ok but if I restart the
services from Webmin tools I receive the message : 
Access control violation /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start  failed
The finally result is that my samba server has stopped to work and I don't
understand why.
Thank you very much for any useful suggestions.

Buongiorno a tutti, scusate per lignoranza, qualcuno
conosce per quale ragione riavviando il sevizio di un
server samba con 

Service smb restart ottengo lavvio
dei demoni smb e nmb e i
relativi ok di conferma, mentre se lo faccio tramite webmin ottengo il messaggio Access control violation /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
start failed  ???

Il risultato è che comunque in
entrambi i casi il mio server samba non funziona più, qualcuno ha dei
suggerimenti ?

Ringrazio vivamente chiunque per ogni utile suggerimento.
