[PLUG] SAMBA restart nmbd


Sometimes on the home network (peer to peer, Windows, OSX, Linux) the
workgroup SAMBA is in charge of isn't there anymore (symptom is Windows
boxes only see themselves). I use SWAT on the SAMBA machine to restart nmbd
and then all is well. I thought I'd fixed it by setting the SAMBA server as
the master browser and to 'always win elections' but now it still occurs
occasionally and without any pattern perceivable to me.
