Launchd broken

Recently I've been having a problem on my Mac where I can't connect to it with ssh or Windows file sharing. We've traced it down to launchd, an OSX daemon that starts services when needed. It should start up sshd or whatever process is needed for Windows file sharing when a connection is made, but it's not. I've used launchctl to make sure the list of things that launchd does is right, and to try to manually start a service with launchd, but haven't had any luck.

I can start up sshd manually as root to still be able to connect with ssh, but I'm not sure what to do for file sharing.

Any ideas? The only thing I have left is to reinstall the OS, and I don't want to do that.

Thanks!
 
windows file sharing is the SAMBA daemon...

Not sure how to make that stuff go on a mac though...man samba.conf maybe? 😀
