Hi I just installed samba 3.0.4 (upgrade form 3.0.0 which has some nasty bugs) and there are some things I dont´t understand. First, testparm is looking for my smb.conf file in /usr/lib, thought it should be in /usr/local/samba/lib (at least this is what Makefile is telling). Anyway, smb.conf is only in /etc/samba and I had to do a symbolic link between those 2 location, so tesparm should know. Second, samba is not starting. Both smbd and nmbd are stopped, I can see that root# service smb status smbd is stopped nmbd is stopped but when I try to start smb I get a message root# service smb start Starting SMB services: execvp: No such file or directory [FAILED] Starting NMB services: execvp: No such file or directory [FAILED] I have another question: upgrading means that samba config file will be changed? I know, a silly question but I have to ask because I didn´t find the answer in samba howto. Hope you will help me with an aswer and a way to solve my problem. best, Jorge __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I just reinstalled it, the samba-3.0.4.tar.gz package from samba.org site. I have a feeling is not a good method... could you point me the right one? --- "Gerald (Jerry) Carter" <jerry@samba.org> wrote:> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Jorge Kramer wrote: > > | I just installed samba 3.0.4 (upgrade form 3.0.0 > which > | has some nasty bugs) and there are some things I > | dont´t understand.
