Hello Samba Team, i need some help for my new samba server :-) I work with Samba V 2.2.2 . Every time i try to start smbd it dies immediatly I the log.smbd there is: [2001/12/16 19:51:43, 0] lib/messages.c:message_init(97) ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database A messages.tdb exists. Every tool seems to have problems with *.tdb hp-tux:/usr/src/samba-2.2.2/source/bin# ./smbstatus -s /etc/samba/smb.conf connections.tdb not initialised ./configure and make went smoothly so i dont understand what the reason of this error is. Btw. this is a linux (debian) installation (Kernel 2.4.16) on a hp9000/720 PARISC computer. Could someone give some help here ? Or point me to the right direction where to R the FM ? Google an Yahoo have no infos on that topic. Thanks. -- Best regards, Joerg J.Hartmann@reinarts.de
