Hi there, I try to install samba on the RS6000 with AIX 4.2. Everything is correct with smb.conf file. (tested with testparm) when I start nmbd with "nmbd -D" it logs the following: 1998/08/14 13:06:27 netbios nameserver version 1.9.18p7 started Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1994-1997 bind failed on port 137 socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use) That is the initial startup after system reboot. nmbd did not run till that moment. netstat -aA gives me the following output # netstat -aA Aktive Internet-Verbindungen (einschlie?lich Server) PCB/ADDR Proto Empf-Q Send-Q Lokale Adresse Ferne Adresse (Status) 5bec100 tcp 0 0 localhost.1040 localhost.nim ESTABLISHED 5bea200 tcp 0 0 localhost.nim localhost.1040 ESTABLISHED 5b6e100 tcp 0 0 luqs1.21064 mokka.kister.1100 ESTABLISHED 5bebb00 tcp 0 0 *.netbios- *.* LISTEN 5b6e200 tcp 0 0 *.21064 *.* LISTEN 5bec300 tcp 0 0 *.1047 *.* LISTEN 5becd00 tcp 0 0 *.1043 *.* LISTEN 5bea000 tcp 0 0 *.1040 *.* LISTEN 5bea400 tcp 0 385 luqs1.telnet radeberger.k.3779 ESTABLISHED 5b6e900 tcp 0 0 *.1030 *.* LISTEN 5b72000 tcp 0 0 *.1027 *.* LISTEN 5b72a00 tcp 0 0 *.7777 *.* LISTEN 5b72c00 tcp 0 0 *.writesrv *.* LISTEN 5b72e00 tcp 0 0 *.1026 *.* LISTEN 5bf0200 tcp 0 0 *.672 *.* LISTEN 5bf0600 tcp 0 0 *.665 *.* LISTEN 5bf0e00 tcp 0 0 *.blackjac *.* LISTEN 5bf0700 tcp 0 0 localhost.smux localhost.1024 ESTABLISHED 5bf0800 tcp 0 0 localhost.1024 localhost.smux ESTABLISHED 5bf1100 tcp 0 0 *.smux *.* LISTEN 5bf1800 tcp 0 0 *.time *.* LISTEN 5bf1a00 tcp 0 0 *.daytime *.* LISTEN 5bf1c00 tcp 0 0 *.chargen *.* LISTEN 5bf1e00 tcp 0 0 *.discard *.* LISTEN 5bee400 tcp 0 0 *.echo *.* LISTEN 5beed00 tcp 0 0 *.exec *.* LISTEN 5beef00 tcp 0 0 *.login *.* LISTEN 5bf2100 tcp 0 0 *.shell *.* LISTEN 5bf2300 tcp 0 0 *.telnet *.* LISTEN 5bf2600 tcp 0 0 *.ftp *.* LISTEN 5b76e00 tcp 0 0 *.sunrpc *.* LISTEN 5b7c400 tcp 0 0 *.smtp *.* LISTEN 5b75a00 udp 0 0 *.1075 *.* 5befd00 udp 1124 0 *.1074 *.* 5b75900 udp 124 0 *.1067 *.* 5b75980 udp 0 0 *.1061 *.* 5befe80 udp 0 0 *.loc-srv *.* 5b75a80 udp 0 0 *.netbios- *.* 5b75c00 udp 0 0 *.netbios- *.* 5b9c100 udp 0 0 *.* *.* 5b9c400 udp 0 0 *.* *.* 5b9c200 udp 0 0 *.1047 *.* 5bf3080 udp 0 0 *.670 *.* 5b9c280 udp 0 0 *.663 *.* 5bf3380 udp 0 0 *.snmp *.* 5bf3400 udp 0 0 *.time *.* 5bf3480 udp 0 0 *.daytime *.* 5bf3500 udp 0 0 *.chargen *.* 5bf3580 udp 0 0 *.discard *.* 5bf3600 udp 0 0 *.echo *.* 5bf3900 udp 0 0 *.1040 *.* 5bf3980 udp 0 0 *.1039 *.* 5bf3a00 udp 0 0 *.1038 *.* 5bf3a80 udp 0 0 *.1037 *.* 5bf3b00 udp 0 0 *.1036 *.* 5bf3b80 udp 0 0 *.1035 *.* 5bf3c00 udp 0 0 *.1034 *.* 5bf3c80 udp 0 0 *.1033 *.* 5bf3d00 udp 0 0 *.1032 *.* 5bf3d80 udp 0 0 *.1031 *.* 5bf3e00 udp 0 0 *.ntalk *.* 5b9c700 udp 0 0 *.1029 *.* 5b9c900 udp 0 0 *.sunrpc *.* 5b9cc00 udp 0 0 *.syslog *.* 5b9cb00 udp 0 0 *.src *.* Aktive UNIX domain sockets SADR/PCB Typ Empf-Q Send-Q IKnoten Verb.
