Thanks for the comments. Resolved the root issue with... no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory This is a known bug, not yet fixed, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1257186 Workaround: apt-get remove libpam-smbpass Don't know exactly what this does??? Resolved the samba connect issue by changing eth0 to p2pl, which I remembered from the interfaces file and needed to correct in the smb.conf. Must be a new way to address the network interface??? Next issue is to install Bit Torrent Sync... I was looking for some form of file/folder sync to backup the main server files to other servers and off-site servers. Found this...anyone with experience on this or is there something else???
