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.

Thanks,
