hi. i need some urgent help. all of a sudden my domain started missing. i could not save my profile either. i decided to reboot my linux machine and samba refused to run. it was working before. when i rebooted it said domain is not available. so i checked the processes in my linux machine. but smbd and nmbd was not running. i ran this /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D but when i did a ps axf .. i could not see the samba process running. meaning the above 2 commands.. something is going on .. please help. the log file does not even get updated.
netstate -apn | grep 139 to see if any process is listening to that port. Have you tried: smbd -d6 to see if anything useful shows up?
