[Samba] initialise_wins failing - failed to open wins.tdb
Hi Guys, Since the automatic fedora update to 23c I'm having problems with samba crashing when a share access is attempted. However, I also notice that the nmbd daemon isn't being started up properly (though its startup script, through init.d, shows it as starting up OK). The error that is being shown in the logs is: [2006/09/28 20:06:35, 0] nmbd/nmbd_winsserver.c:initialise_wins(580) initialise_wins: failed to open wins.tdb. Error was Permission denied Now I've tried to google for wins.tdb and can't find much on it, other than it should be located in /var/lib/samba (which it isn't). Any ideas for where it might have gone (I haven't deleted it in anyway)? or what the issue might be with this? Regards, Bevan
