If this happens every time you bring up samba, it may be due to the shared memory and semaphores already existing when Samba tries to create them, and them being owned by the 'wrong' unix user or group. I wrote a brief article about this phenom. a while back, perhaps it will help: ********** Samba can fail to run with the following error message: ERROR: root did not create the semaphore: semgid=1, rootgid=3 error railed to initialize shared moded. failed to initialize shared memory. startsmb will seem to work, but when you try to do a smbstatus, you will get this error. The cause of the problem is that at some point in the past, Samba was started by a root user when the home gid for the root account was DIFFERENT than the current home gid for root. Samba does not remove the shared memory or semaphores it uses to access shared memory when you bring it down, and always tries to use existing shared memory and semaphores if it finds them. When it finds that the semaphore it is using was created with a different gid than the current root home gid, it fails to initialize. This could happen on some systems with special security or where the customer uses a special program (like .do) to switch from a normal user to a user with root privileges. The shared memory and semaphore keys that Samba uses are: shared mem key = 0x00280267 semaphore key = 0x00280269 Fortunately, the solution to this problem is simple. Shut down samba (stopsmb) and remove the shared memory and semaphores: ipcrm -M 0x00280267 ipcrm -S 0x00280269 Then start Samba (smbstart) while logged in as root. ********************* Hope this helps... don -----Original Message----- From: marcel.czink@gmx.net [mailto:marcel.czink@gmx.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 10:30 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: Welcome to the "samba" mailing list i got the following problem: [root@sun samba]# tail log.smb [2000/11/28 16:20:16, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174) ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes [2000/11/28 16:20:29, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(667) Can't create or use IPC area.

I am trying to set samba up so that it will allow connections from a certain
IP range, and allow any user to view a share with no validation of the user.
I am setting this up under sco unix.
