When i go into mcc/server configuration/samba i am told that samba is not 
installed (this happens EVERY time) and to click 'ok' to install. I then have 
to setup samba services, workgroup and banner - that is what i mean by 
reinitialising! Before doing this, i cannot use linneighborhood or komba2 to 
browse my local network.

I did a fresh install of webmin and the smb.conf was pointing to 
/etc/smb.conf, not etc/samba/smb.conf. Webmin is fine!
