Ok. Would please be so kind and go to the directory /usr/ports/net/samba 
and type "make build install clean" and restart the samba service. I'm 
interested if it may have sth. to do with that.

psmintr has to do with the PS/2 device, so I do not assume it causes 
samba to fail.

It sounds to me like a hardware failure. If the psm device causes 
problems as well as samba - may be a defect memory module?
