If you mean /etc/init.d/smb, it's CentOS's version. The entire difference between the two, just for the record, is:
# diff smb /etc/init.d/smb 10a11
echo $PATH > path.txt
37c38
< RETVAL=0
echo $PATH >> path.txt
38a40
RETVAL=0
where "smb" is RH's version and /etc/init.d/smb is Cent's. I can't quite imagine that a difference between overwriting or appending path.txt is at the root of what I'm seeing though.
I have not been following this thread closely, but perhaps Robert was pointing at SELINUX and the need to keep the SE permissions intact as you copy/edit the file.
i.e. you may need to: A) restorecon /etc/init.d/smb and any other samba files that you have copied/edited. B) look in one of the /var/log/ files for selinux messages when you are starting samba.
Good luck.
