Hey all,
I recently installed fedora core 5 and then installed samba. I
however encountered a problem. The smbd thread would not start. Can anytone
shead some light on why this might have happened. In the original
installation of the OS I installed samba. However I encountered that same
problem. The smbd would not start. I then tried installing samba from the
source and still the same problem. I check the path of the smbd and it gave
me the OS default path. I tried forcing the installation path but still the
same problem. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated Thank you.

You might try <chkconfig --list smb> (check the man page for the exact syntax) to check the status of your smb. Then try <chkconfig --add smb> (again, checking the man page; I'm writing these commands from hazy memory). Chkconfig is a useful utility for managing a number of services. Eventually, you might find it useful for nmbd and winbindd, also.

I *believe* that swat and/or webmin has smb.conf checking utility to make sure there are no errors in it. You may want to look into starting those and having it check smb.conf for errors.
