samba - Oct 2002 - smbd, nmbd crashes

Hi,

I've been running Samba successfully for several years.

I tried running Samba on a new computer under Redhat 7.3 using a test
smb.conf where testparm shows no errors.  Running "smb start" runs
properly i.e. starts smbd and nmbd,  but  after a few seconds both
programs stop running  (running "ps aux| grep smbd" shows job running,
running "ps...." again shows that it stopped.  Running "smb
status"
twice after staring smb confirms that they ran for a few seconds and
then stopped.

All necessary changes were made to /etc/services and  inetd.conf.

Any ideas?


Thanks

If you are starting the daemons with inetd, they won't run as
standalone daemons,  since inetd runs them on demand. Inetd will hog
the sockets (ports).

I thought Redhat used xinetd?
