I've read before that the semaphore problem is a bug on Samba 2.0.5a and
there isn't a cure for it yet except for this workaround (that I've also
picked up from this newsgroup but forgot who posted it):
1. Kill smbd and nmbd processes
2. Run "ipcs -as" to list all active semaphores.
3. Remove the semaphore entry for Samba. The row with Key=0x00280269 is
Samba's. To remove it, run "ipcrm -s $ID" where $ID is the ID of the
Samba Semphore.
4. Start Samba again (eg. /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D and nmbd -D)

5. Make sure that the first connection with Samba is clean by doing
smbclient -L host_name -U username
When you do smbclient again, the report should be clean (no errors).
PS. I don't know what a semaphore is either. Sorry.
