Hello, I had Samba 1.9.18 running on my Slackware system just fine. I backed up my smb.conf, then downloaded and installed the precompiled 2.0.3 binaries from the Samba website. I installed by moving the samba-2.0.3-Slackware.tar file to the root, and then by running tar -xvf on it. The samba daemons were stopped at the time. I copied my backup smb.conf back to /etc, and then I joined the NT

I am having a problem with my Samba machine, here are the details. The machine in question is running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE on a Dual PIII/XEON 550. I downloaded the source for Samba-2.2.3a and compiled without a hitch. I also setup SWAT to run through an stunnel(ssl) pipe.

hi all, I just installed samba 2.2.0 on a Digital SMP server and I can tell that administering it via SWAT is the bigest step since man walking on the moon. but... SWAT eroneously reports smbd/nmbd not working while they are working. And even more, the smbd/nmbd [start]/[restart] buttons have dissapeared. Why is that ?

We are trying out samba 3.2.8. All of our samba servers have multiple network interfaces. With version 3.0.31 we were able to use Socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 127.0.0.1 and nmbd worked fine as did swat. With 3.2.8 that syntax causes nmbd to crash and complain about an invalid address. If we adjust the syntax to use Socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Or socket

G'day, We are running Samba 2.04b on a Solaris 2.6 box as well as Samba 2.04b on a Solaris 7 box. In SWAT on the Solaris 7 box the nmbd service is seen to be running. On the Solaris 2.6 box SWAT says the nmbd service is not running. Doing a ps on the Solaris 2.6 box shows nmbd to be running. What is responsible for this anomaly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave Lovett

Greetings to all I have been using Samaba for a few years, and think it is a great package. Currently I am trying to use Samba in a corporate environment. Unfortunaley I am surrounded by Windows users, that are extremly afraid of the command line. So I am trying to implement SWAT as a way to allow the admins a way to manage Samba. Enerything seems to work, except for creating new shares. The

Just install Samba 3.5.9 with no issues. I have swat setup and can connect to the web gui. Problem is that when I start smbd and nmbd from the web gui, swat still shows that processes are not running. But in fact on the server they were started, and the logs show no errors. Any reason why swat is not showing me that the samba processes are running? -- C. J. Keist

Dear "someone who can help", I am having a problem with SAMBA and SWAT (although I'm not sure SWAT is part of the problem...) I get two instances of "smbd" when ever it is started on this system.
