[LIP] Peculiar problem in shell script.

Hi all,

I have installed FC-4 and samba did not run correctly when it started from 
init script. I tried to debug it and could not find any problem with the 
script. I *moved* this script (smb) to a different name (smb.org) and then 
*copied* this script to the  original name and it worked.

With the original script I still get the same error. The error is "
    [root@prm-co init.d]# ./smb.org start
    Starting SMB services: /etc/init.d/functions: line 83: 31449 Aborted 
$nice $*
                                                           [FAILED]
"

I have checked the permissions, checksums and lsattr of both script and they 
give the same value. Could someone tell me what could be wrong with the 
script (smb.org).

    [root@prm-co init.d]# ll smb*
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2020 Sep  2 12:43 smb
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2020 Sep  2 12:44 smb.org

    [root@prm-co init.d]# cksum smb*
    2530385171 2020 smb
    2530385171 2020 smb.org

    [root@prm-co init.d]# sha1sum smb*
    9ec8404d79d4293bb9d2e9c8c4a49a567fd6ab66  smb
    9ec8404d79d4293bb9d2e9c8c4a49a567fd6ab66  smb.org

    [root@prm-co init.d]# lsattr smb*
    ------------- smb
    ------------- smb.org

    [root@prm-co init.d]# cmp smb smb.org

    [root@prm-co init.d]# diff -d smb smb.org
