This laptop has stopped serving samba, and I can't see where the problem lies.  
Here is the testparm output:

testparm

In /var/log/samba the machine logs are empty.  smbd.log and nmbd.log are 
empty.  There is now an nmbd.log showing today's date, size 43KB which ends 
with

[2008/05/30 07:34:19, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(697)
  Netbios nameserver version 3.0.25b started.

and a smbd.log which shows

[2008/05/30 07:34:18, 0] smbd/server.c:main(944)
  smbd version 3.0.25b started.

I can mount my main server box in fstab, indicating that the client is working 
correctly.  I've found several questions in google but no answers.
