smb is a link to /usr/bin/smbspool

bumping up logging to debug2 gets me _a lot_ more info, but still the
two that jump out at me are:

E [27/Nov/2002:11:43:43 -0800] cli_session_request() failed...
E [27/Nov/2002:11:43:43 -0800] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will
retry in 60 seconds...: Success

i have no samba server logs, the smb share is on a win98 machine.
