I have recently resurrected an old Pentium 133. I installed RH 6.2 on it to make it a simple back-up file server via Samba. However, I have problems starting Samba. I type smb start on the console and it shows that Samba starts (smbd start [OK] nmbd start [OK]; or something very similar to that message). Yet when I type smb status, the message is smbd is stopped nmbd is stopped. I would appreciate any type of suggestion you might give. Thanks! [:)]
What do you see when you do: ps ax | grep mb If you see any smbd or nmbd processes, then it is running.
