I'm a new linux user trying to run samba on Linuxppc R5 but smbd doesn't appear to be responding properly. Both nmbd and smbd are configured as daemons and netstat lists netbios-ssn as listening. I can't find anything else that would conflict starting from inetd. Nmbd appears to work as I can list the available servers and the server is seen by the clients but I don't need nmbd, just the ability to access smbd with an ip address. I've gone through the included diagnosis.txt file and I'm getting stuck at step 3 with an error message that the session request failed. Here is the output of "smbclient -L files" with log level = 10: doing parameter log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m doing parameter max log size = 50 doing parameter socket options = TCP_NODELAY doing parameter printcap name = /etc/printcap doing parameter preferred master = Yes doing parameter dns proxy = No doing parameter guest account = ftp doing parameter max connections = 5 pm_process() returned Yes lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes codepage_initialise: client code page = 850 load_client_codepage: loading codepage 850.
