sadly,  I'm not good enough to turn it back on and  get on with my work

funnily  cifs  stopped working too:

[bart@nemesis bart]$ su
Password:
[root@nemesis bart]# mount -t cifs -o user=administrator //Nexus/Downs 
/home/bart/nexus_downs/
Password:
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root@nemesis bart]#

and now I'm in the right pickle,  thankfully I still can see  Linux 
machines from windows.
