Hi, I have had samba 3.0 running on my FreeBSD 5.2 sparc64 system for a few weeks without any issues. Recently I had to reboot, and now nmbd won't run. I have NOT changed my config one bit. I have verified nothing is bound to port 137 via netstat -an . The error is as follows: [2004/03/19 05:20:10, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(646) bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 216.150.214.162. Error = Can't assign requested address [2004/03/19 05:20:10, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:make_subnet(126) nmbd_subnetdb:make_subnet() Failed to open nmb socket on interface 216.150.214.162 for port 137. Error was Can't assign requested address [2004/03/19 05:20:10, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(732) ERROR: Failed when creating subnet lists. Exiting. 216.150.214.162 is the samba server's IP address. The freebsd kernel version is the following: FreeBSD grundo.bonch.org 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 11 06:09:12 GMT 2004 root@bobbi.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC sparc64 The following is my samba config, I ran testparm against it and saw no errors or misconfigurations. [global] workgroup = BONCH server string = grundo log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /export/tmp read only = no public = yes [music] comment = music path = /export/music public = yes writeable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
