Everytime I boot into Linux the SMB Service fails with a 255 error when trying to run smbd or nmbd. Could someone tell me what the error means so that I can investigate the problem further. I have just installed Samba 2.0.7.

Many thanks
 
I don't know what error 255 is, but try starting Samba from the command line and see what you get.

su to root
enter '/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D' (that's usually where the smbd executable is installed) if not, try 'locate smbd')

See what error message shows up now.
