I have an install of the Debian Lenny based MEPIS 8 beta here at home,
and the above file doesn't appear to exist. (The machine I've been
working on is the Etch based MEPIS 7.)

Would you mind telling me what the above command is actually doing?
Looking at the xargs man page, it appears that I'm removing something???
from /var/cache/samba???

Thanks for your interest. I appreciate learning opportunity.

(Everything's relative, that's for sure. In nearly every other circle,
I'm considered the "computer genius". This kind of experience keeps me
humble.)
