In case I'm missing a dependency, etc.:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs hal portmap fam crond sshd cups)

Failed on three different boxes (all 2007.08 Don't Panic).

hrm samba starts fine here, could it be that your config file is wrong?

Again, it's a copy of the default.

Will do some more digging.

I found a workaround for this bug. Yep, it wouldn't start otherwise.
I think somewhere in the process of recompiling the new package, the run directory
has been changed from /var/run to /usr/var/run. So, I made a symlink from
/usr/var/run to /var/run and everything worked again.

Yes. That worked. Thanks!
