samba - Jan 2002 - can't start samba

Hi,

I had been running Samba 2.2.1a on a Red Hat 7.2 machine fine for
several weeks.  Then I had to reboot the machine today, and Samba won't
come back up.  The boot-up messages say that SMB has started OK.  But if
I check SWAT or '/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status', it says that Samba is not
running.  I've tried restarting Samba every way I can think of, like
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start' and starting it from SWAT, with no
success.  Any suggestions on how to get it going again would be great. 
Thanks,

Hi,

When I try to do 'smbclient -L localhost', I get this error:

[root@ripley init.d]# smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=192.168.230.201 bcast=192.168.230.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=172.16.166.1 bcast=172.16.166.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=172.16.177.1 bcast=172.16.177.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused)
Connection to localhost failed


I guess this may be related to why I can't start Samba?  Thanks,

Hi,

I'm now trying to recompile Samba 2.2.2.  When I do the 'make', I
get
this error:

/usr/include/asm/statfs.h:12: redefinition of `struct statfs'
make: *** [smbd/server.o] Error 1


Is this related to my current 2.2.1a installation?  How should I get rid
of an old installation of Samba?  Thanks,



Hidong
