smbd must have effective user id of zero to run?
I couldn't get samba to run on my system, after launching smbd in debuging mode I got: dadecal@tramontana:/usr/local/samba/bin$ ./smbd -d 10 ./smbd: Version 2.2.0-alpha2 : Must have effective user id of zero to run. What is this about? -- ______________________________ Daniel de los Reyes S2-Selling Soluciones Valencia Spain e-mail: dadecal@s2-selling.com Powered by Debian GNU-Linux 2.2r2 ______________________________

This means that you were trying to launch the Samba daemon as a user - dadecal - rather than as root, which is required. -----Original Message----- From: samba-admin@us5.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@us5.samba.org]On Behalf Of Daniel de los Reyes Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 04:29 To: samba@us5.samba.org Subject: smbd must have effective user id of zero to run?
