it seems that switching to the split ebuild version causes samba to ignore smb.conf. my smb.conf is attached, when using the monolitic version is works ok, but when using the split version, upon attempting to connect to the shares, I get a enter workgroup password msg. I do have both of them installed. (the monolitic and split) more info can be seen here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-801291-highlight-.html Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 211956 [details] local smb.conf
Any chance this is caused by you not reading Changes in samba 3.4.0 and not converting to tdbsam backend ?
Technically, somebody already mention this in the forum thread, but I don't see your response and your conf file is probably invalid without either conversion or stating backend explicitly.

Cause monolithic is older than 3.4.0 ?

one sec, since when samba was changed from monolithic to meta?
First split was 3.3.6, first unmasked was 3.3.7 on 1 Sep 2009. 3.4.2 went into the tree on 9 Oct 2009.
