Hi again, I'm hoping this will make it to the list. I'm still puzzled by the behavior of the smb daemon. Jerry Carter's book and talk at the recent Linux World Expo state that after starting nmbd and smbd with e.g. "smbd -D ; nmbd -D" that a "ps -ef | grep mbd" should return the PIDs of both smbd and nmbd. I have downloaded and installed both a rpm version of samba-2.2.3a and the tar.gz version at different times. I cannot ever get a PID for smbd no matter if I start it as above or via "/etc/init.d/smb start". I have browsed Carter's book and the 122 pages of the man pages to no avail. There must be an explanation but I don't know where else to look. Thanks, Bob
Is smbd running?

Try: which smbd and see where your system is looking for smbd. There is a good chance you are not running the binaries you think you are.
