It looks like that there is a problem with samba if you install it as I've described this in my previous posts. The FreeNAS binaries are compiled with different path-settings as the original pkg's from FreeBSD.
So if you do not need samba, don't install the packages! Skip the following steps:
freenas:~# pkg_add -r net/samba-libsmbclient-3.0.28
freenas:~# pkg_add -r net/samba-nmblookup-3.0.28.tbz
freenas:~# pkg_add -r net/samba-3.0.28,1
If you need samba, please be aware that you might see some problems!
One issue I've seen is that the /var/etc/private/smbpasswd file was not updated during the boot. My workaround is to add the following in /etc/rc.d/smbpasswd:
(/bin/echo "${_password}"; /bin/echo "${_password}") | ${command} -c /var/etc/smb.conf -s -a "${_username}" > /dev/null
Can anyone confirm similar problems?

hey harry, i can't get my samba working either. I have the same exact problem as you do. Unfortunately, I've already installed samba and nmlookup according you previous posts. Do you know how to remove those packages?
Thanks. I love FreeNAS and BackupPC. It's the best thing out there I think.
Hi John,
can you please send me an email with more details. Maybe I can share some workarounds I've found out.

When I restart the CIFS/SMB service, I get the following in /var/log/samba/log.smbd file:

I haven't tried your workaround for the smb password update. Would it help for this situation?
