similar to: Is nmbd running?

I am running SuSE V 8 with KDE 3 and had a memory problem when the screen would lose icons, taskbars etc. I am very much a newbie and everything was going along smoothly, even managed to get Cups up and running and printing across the small Lan to a windows printer. The problem is being caused by nmbd starting up in a loop causing dozens of instances to run each with their own PID until such

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

Hi. I'm getting messages to the effect: Inetd: /usr/local/samba/lib/nmbd: Hangup Last messages repeat 319 times I start samba from inetd. Should I be starting it as a daemon or starting it in init.d? If starting it as a daemon in in init.d, does someone have a script that can let me use? I'm running samba on an a Sun E450, with Solaris 2.7. Thanks. grant

I recently decided to set up a Linux machine with the intent to run samba on it. I am running Mandrake 10 and I have installed the latest version of samba from the website. But I can't seem to get samba and swat to work. Because when I go to http://localhost:901 <http://localhost:901/> I receive an error, informing me that it cannot be reached. This is what I have done so

I have the default installation of samba (2.0.5) that came with Caldera OL 2.3, but it doesn't seem to be starting up properly, nor is SWAT working. When I run the script 'samba start', I get the message "Starting samba: smbd nmbd", but when I check the running processes, only nmbd shows up. Running smbstatus gives me the message "Couldn't open status file

ctdb 2.5.3 dual node file server with 4.1.9 serving AD domain Hi We have enabled the script at: /etc/cdb/events.d/50.samba but when we are the enabled node, it starts not only smbd but also nmbd. This doesn't make sense in an AD domain. I've tried disabling nmbd starting under openSUSE's systemd but ctdb overrides that, I've had a look at the script but can't decipher the bit

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 ?

Hi list members, i run a Debian etch system. I upgrade my samba to the sernet deb packages. All runs fine but i have a error message with SWAT. If i open swat in browser it tells: ERROR: Can't open include/header.html It is only a white background in my browser and i can?t open help files. I think there is a link missing to a folder? Right? But where is the place ?????? Who can help??

Hi all, I had nForce3 motherboard that has broken. Than I bought nForce4 motherboard. I connected old hard disk to this new nForce4 motherboard. For net and sound support I download drivers from nvidia.com site. This driver asks kernel source to be on local disk and gcc compiler. After I installed kernel source and gcc, driver is successfully installed. >From that point (but maybe it is

I'm having problems when I restart the smb server with it not coming back up. As near as I can tell it's actually NMBD that's having the issue. I'm running RedHat 9.0 on a Compaq ML-370 with Dual 1.2GHz P3s and I just upgraded Samba to 2.2.8a-1 after having this same problem with 2.2.7a When I issue: #service smb restart It says that it shut down and restarted ok, but then nobody

Hi! I'm a Linux beginner, and I installed Suse Linux 8.2 to my computer. I installed Samba too... Then I configured it... I wrote in to the web browser: http://localhost:901. Swat came in, and I configured things what I read in a Samba book. Then I started smbd, and nmbd. Smbd worked, but nmbd won't start! I made a probe to write in the "smbd -D" command. It worked... But by

Hi, I downloaded the binaries for samba yesterday for redhat 9.0, and installed them without error. Managed to get swat up and running and configured samba, the same way I configured my other linux (slackware 10.2) box, and started samba thru swat. But when the status page reloads, it shows smbd and winbindd as not running, although it shows nmbd running. When i check the ps list, it shows

Dear all, I regret that I am very new to this tool from the install side. I have so far altered shares on a running machine only. I have (thanks to Joss for some help already) installed version 3.4.3 under AIX 6.1 giving it our preferred base directory of /opt/freeware/samba/3.4.3 I have copied over the smb.conf file from the source machine (AIX 5.2 / Samba 2.0.7) and tweaked the content of

Hello all: Here's the problem [on a RH7 running kernel 2.2.17-14 with Samba 2.0.7-21ssl and xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14]: http://localhost:901 does bring up the SWAT login dialog box.. but upon entering root as the user, followed by my root passwd in the next entry... it tells me "Authentication failed. Retry?" I can tell you that I did enter the correct root passwd, because I am root

hi, trying to start nmbd manually (after changing the options to : nmbd -D -d 2 -G music -n winlux) have no effect. nmbd is not present as a new processid in ps ax. where can I take a look for the reason ? am using samba 2.0.7 from RH 7.1 thanks for helping in advance hans schneidhofer

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! But before I say what I did... yall have to promise not to laugh! (MAH!! I HEAR YOU!!) ... anyone ever heard of.... /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart I can tell you from experience that 'killall -HUP xinetd' is NOT the same. I can also say that nobody will find that command line entry in "Using Samba". To show my appreciation to the groups involved,

Hello People, /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status yields the following output: smbd (pid 31224 31209 31102 31098 31077 31069 31056 3237 3171 3154 3147 3144 3131 3129 3128 3124 3119 3091 3077 2590 2582 2564 2491 2468 1964) is running... nmbd (pid 31062 31061) is running... In total 25 smbd's and 2 nmbd's, while only five or six users actually use the samba-server. This many processes causes

Is there a good way to stop and restart the samba server... for example to have it re read the smb.conf, without rebooting the actual pc? if I should kill a process should I kill them all ??? if so is there an efficent way to do this? thanks in advance Robert

I am running Redhat 7.1 and am trying to use V scripts to start samba as a Daemon. I have put the script in /etc/init.d and put a symbolic link in /etc/rc3.d with the file name S70samba (so it's /etc/rc3.d/S70samba points to /etc/init.d) But it will not start during boot! Does anyone have a script that I can use, I think the one I have is screwy.
