I was struggling along trying to make my network communicate in Arch. Samba requires the fam daemon and it is important that it is loaded before samba in /etc/rc.conf on the daemons line.
FAM is poorly maintained and gaim is to be prefered. So I deinstalled fam and installed gaim.
Gaim does not need to run as a daemon like FAM; it activates when needed.
It did wonders for my network.
