I've had samba installed on 3 Sun SPARC systems running solaris 2.5.1 for about 4 months now. We're having some problems with our network and I want to shut samba off so I can start debugging the problem without worrying about samba in the background. I have samba, both smbd and nmbd, configured in my /etc/inetd.conf files as the documentation says. Whenever I shut samba off, I have about five 4.0 NT systems, out of about 50, that hang on the login splash screen after a reboot. If I turn smba back on, eveyone works fine. Does anyone out there have any idea why? I can't believe I can't shut samba off without hanging some NT systems on bootup. I do know it's the nmbd service on one of my Sparc systems causing the problem. My configuration is as follows: In my /etc/services files on each system ----------------------------------------------------------- netbios-ns 137/udp # For Samba support netbios-ssn 139/tcp # For Samba support In my /etc/inetd.conf files on each system ----------------------------------------------------------- netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/bin/nmbd nmbd I'm not even sharing anything with samba at this point. All I have running are the processes themselves. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Sheldon Daigle Security Dynamics Inc.
