Hi. I've been using Samba for a while on my NetBSD box with no problems what-so-ever, and use it to share files between my Macs and PCs. Up until Saturday, everything was working just fine, but all of a sudden (a little too technical, I know heh) it stopped working. The only thing I've changed on that box is to recompile Apache so it now has mod_perl and PHP4. Here is a partial log of what is happening in /var/log/messages: Feb 14 08:22:14 cc184371-b inetd[197]: /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd: exit status 0x1 Feb 14 08:22:45 cc184371-b last message repeated 21 times Feb 14 08:22:58 cc184371-b last message repeated 17 times Feb 14 08:22:58 cc184371-b inetd[197]: netbios-ns/udp server failing (looping), service terminated Feb 14 10:38:24 cc184371-b inetd[197]: /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd: exit status 0x1 Feb 14 10:38:58 cc184371-b last message repeated 19 times Feb 14 10:39:23 cc184371-b last message repeated 19 times Feb 14 10:39:23 cc184371-b inetd[197]: netbios-ns/udp server failing (looping), service terminated Feb 14 10:58:58 cc184371-b inetd[197]: /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd: exit status 0x1 Feb 14 10:59:29 cc184371-b last message repeated 26 times Feb 14 10:59:38 cc184371-b last message repeated 12 times Feb 14 10:59:38 cc184371-b inetd[197]: netbios-ns/udp server failing (looping), service terminated Feb 14 11:34:50 cc184371-b afpd[1526]: dsi_stream_read(-1): Connection reset by peer Feb 14 11:34:50 cc184371-b afpd[1526]: dsi_tcp_open: invalid header Feb 14 11:34:50 cc184371-b afpd[194]: server_child[1] 1526 exited 1 here is what my log.nmb looks like [first I should say that I having a bit of a trouble with my DNS (@home's dns actually) i have an IP, but my hostname does not resolve to anything.
