Hello,
I'm trying to run smbd with djb daemontools' supervise.
Here's the way I followed:
# 2/6/2002
# problem running samba-2.2.4 and supervise
problem: run smbd with supervise
subproblem 1: smbd & nnmbd with -D option deteach from tty, so
supervise cannot control them;
solution 1: we can patch smb/server.c (foreground patch) to prevent
deteach, but a second problem arise:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (is_daemon && !foreground) {
DEBUG( 3, ( "Becoming a daemon.\n" ) );
/* comment this to prevent from deteaching from tty
* become_daemon();
*
*/
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
subproblem 2: when you kill smbd with "svc -d smbd", smbd process
kill
also supervise
solution 2: the problem is addressed in
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/503/2001/12/0/7433256/ ;
we can use the -i swith (interactive mode)
subproblem 3: using -i we need to use inetd or tcpserver; but -i +
tcpserver is not possible
since tcpserver doesnot handle udp packets; we have to
use smbd in daemon mode
solution 3: use -i and -D togheter
subproblem 4: smbd doesnot fork because the -i is used;
solution 4: patch:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
276 continue;
277 }
278
279 /* remove here to fork even in -i mode
280 * if (smbd_server_fd() != -1 && interactive)
281 * return True;
282 */
283 if (smbd_server_fd() != -1 && sys_fork()==0) {
284 /* Child code ... */
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
subproblem 5: where is output ? perhaps in interactive mode output has
different redirection?
but most of all, am I on the correct way to solve the
problem ?
Waiting for some hints,
with regards
