Another Samba issue - in Lucid? Naw, it just works... Well, not really... :)
How do I attach the Apport automatically generated data?

Three times now I have removed a duplicate share in Samba and it keeps coming back ...

Anyway, after this crash, Samba restarted and I removed BOTH references to that particular share.
I will wait until after a reboot before I go back in and see how things look =)
