I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server. However only the nmbd daemon is running. I thought both smbd and nmbd should be running. On trying to start smbd with:>/sbin/service smb startthe result is "starting smbd [FAILED]" Stopping smbd of course has no effect, and starting or restarting nmbd works just fine. I'm stumped! I turned SELinux and the firewall off. I stopped sendmail. I configured a share, and set up a user for it. I can't think of what else might be a problem. This worked before on a previous life of the system under FC4. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help%3A-smbd---nmbd-normal-states-tf2082053.html#a5736427 Sent from the Samba - General forum at Nabble.com.
Have you checked the output of testparm? Run it and see if it doesn't like some configuration settings. I had very similar results when I had some misspelled configuration settings. And if that doesn't work, remove any and all log files, then add loglevel = 10 to your smb.conf, then start the server, wait a bit, then post the log files so we can help you debug the problem. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+jmason=lim.com@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+jmason=lim.com@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of LouArnold Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 7:39 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Help: smbd & nmbd normal states I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server.

OK, I set the lohlevel to 10 in the smb.conf file. Then I deleted current log files for smbd and nmbd. I ran both and then I checked the smbd log file. The only sense of an error message is at the very end of the file: "smbd: symbol lookup error: smbd: undefined symbol: cupsLangDefault" This is unclear and to me only means that I should remove and re-install the Samba service. Help is very welcome here. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help%3A-smbd---nmbd-normal-states-tf2082053.html#a5755338 Sent from the Samba - General forum at Nabble.com.
This problem has been documented and solved. See "Fedora core 5 and Samba" dated July 27, 2006. In essence the problem is an incompatibility between "cups" and samba versions. Apparently the following versions work: samba-client-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 samba-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 samba-common-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 cups-1.2.2-1.1 cups-libs-1.2.2-1.1 Many thanks, Lou Arnold ------------------------------------ LouArnold wrote:> > I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server.
