I have been looking at samba for about 3 days and on Unix to provide shares for our NT system. My problem is that I can't seem to start the smbd process. There are some started but by the guest user and I'm sure I need one started by the root user. If I simply type the command it returns no errors to the screen, but there are errors in the log.smb file. The error is: - standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option bind failed on port 139 socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use) Can anyone suggest anything?? Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers Carl
try adding to smb.conf interfaces = ip of machine /subnet address ie. interfaces = 10.108.1.95/255.255.224.0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY run testparm to see if your smb.conf file is okay, and run smbd -D cheers -----Original Message----- From: Routledge, Carl [mailto:Carl.Routledge@ucb-group.com] Sent: 13 March 2002 16:23 To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: [Samba] smbd service won't start I have been looking at samba for about 3 days and on Unix to provide shares for our NT system.

Error = Address already in use [2002/03/13 19:01:34, 3] lib/util_sock.c:(789) Any ideas ? Richard
