Hi I have Samba 2.2.2 (I think, it's the latest) running on a Redhat 7.1 Linux system. The server is the Internet gateway with 2 network cards. The network: Server: OS: Redhat Linux 7.1 Workgroup: GARS IP: 192.168.0.1 Name: Digital Client PC 1: OS: Win2k Workgroup: GARS IP: DHCP From Digital but usualy 192.168.0.100 Name: Compaq Client PC 2: OS: WinME Workgroup: GARS IP: DHCP from Digital but usualy 192.168.0.99 Name: Celeron I start nmbd at startup with " /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D" and also when it has died. Every thing works find but nmbd die very offten, 2-3 times every day. This is a extract from the "log.compaq", compaq is the one mostly using Samba shares. ------------------------------ [2002/01/13 18:29:14, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1383) unable to open passdb database.
