It died because I made a small configuration change.

I did not make a backup of the config file because I was making a very 
simple change that was very easily undoable.
Just a simple x = y line.

Well, in VI I hit i too many times and that little extra 'i' got added 
to the domain for winbind - in a hard to see place.

So, lesson learned - no matter how simple the modification - always make 
a copy that you can fall back to that is UNMODIFIED from what works.

At least now I have a simple smb.conf for sharing files in an emergency.
