similar to: 2.2.7 nmbd doesn't start under RedHat 7.1 (Kernel 2.4.2-2smp)

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server. ( Of course, I first uninstalled the original samba that came with the Redhat installation CDs by rpm -e samba*.) The installation was successful. Then I modified /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/swat as suggested in the installation document uncompressed from

Hi there, Just experimenting with Samba (latest version) running on RH 7.2 Everything seems to be OK, got it running and can access shares but... smbd and nmbd have to be started manually ! ( using # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D and then # /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ). Any idea how I set it to start at bootup ? It doesn't show up in the services configuration under the RH

Hello everyone, I am having difficulties in setting up a tftp server on a Fedora 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64. Running tftp client to test the server functionality, a simple get from the terminal prompts 'Transfer timed out.' back. The version is tftp-hpa 5.2, with remap, with tcpwrappers, unfortunately I am not able to find any log in the system journal.? The server and related services appear

Hi There I need help on setting up swat 3.0.0 on RedHat 7.1. I've got xinetd installed but not inetd and can't find configuration to setup swat on xinetd. Do I need inetd and where do I get it from. New in the game so please be pasient Anton

Hi everyone, In the last few days I've spended hours and hours on the web surching for a solution to my problems. Eventhough it looked like there where several other people having the same problem I couldn't find a way to solve it. Therefore I'm hoping that one of you could help me with the following problem. I've installed Samba 3.0.14a on RedHat 9.0. Samba is working perfectly.

I am using centos 5.1 x86_64 I am wanting to restart xinetd when I do "service xinetd restart" it says xinetd unrecognized service when I do "/etc/init.d/xinetd restart" I get no such file or directory. How does one restart xinetd? THanks, Jerry

Hi: I have something like this: class xinetd { ... some Puppet code ... class xinetd::telnet { ... some Puppet code ... } } node ''host1'' { include xinetd::telnet } However, when running Puppet says it can''t find class xinetd::telnet. I can include xinetd so I know my site.pp correctly includes all .pp files. I am running Puppet 2.6.0. Thanks

Staging for a rollout of EL 6, and ran into a very strange permissions issue with xinetd that defies all (my) logic. It's a script called "spfiled" that we use for messaging between our server cluster servers. I'm trying to get it to run with "least permissions necessary". Because it reads/writes files in conjunction with a web-based service, it runs as user

I am interested in opinions regarding the use of xinetd versus the use of tcp wrappers. The two programs have similar functionality, but I find xinetd suits my needs better. The biggest problem is the age of xinetd, and AFAIK it is no longer being kept up. Are there any known security issues with xinetd? Another issue is that xinetd makes use of a non-standard inetd.conf layout, but

Hello, I've succefuly installed samba 2.2.2 on my Linux box. I can share between Linux and MS boxes, but I want to start samba from xinetd. In /etc/xinetd.d/ I have this: #/etc/xinetd.d/netbios-ns service netbios-ns { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp port = 137 user = root wait

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,

One thing I have noticed on CentOS6 is that rsync via xinetd never works after a reboot. It always takes an additional, post-reboot service xinetd restart to get it going. That has been the same for all revisions up to and including 6.5, and I've seen it on more than just machine. While I don't see such a message on other problem machines, the latest reboot gave me a clue: Dec 9

Ok, I should be able to start swat with xinetd, but I can't seem to get anything to start. 1. How do I tell if swat is running (other than trying to browse to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:901) 2. Can someone give me an idea of what and where I need commands for xinetd. Server is RH7.2, Samba 2.2.3a, following file "swat" is in /etc/xinetd.d/ ## /etc/xinetd.d/swat service swat { port

I just got a nice, shiny new machine at work, a Core 2 Duo, on which I just finished installing CentOS 5.2 with a fair number of packages, SeaMonkey 1.1.10, Adobe Reader 8.0, Adobe Flash 9.0, mplayer, mplayerplug-in (both from rpmforge), and I think that was it. Then I went and got the latest VMWare Server, 1.0.7, from VMWare, pulled down their rpm, installed it, and ran vmware-config.pl, which

Is this the best way to get dovecot's pop3 process to run under xinetd? This is what I did after I installed postfix and dovecot. I am using Debian. I am using the dovecot local delivery agent. ---------first the dovecot configuration and version information------------------ dovecot -n output: # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s

Hi, I'm a linux newbie so be nice. I have recently installed a Smoothwall Express 2 firewall with fixes7, and am trying to get a Samba server to run on this machine. I compiled the lastest stable release of samba on this machine and it seemed to go fine. I then compiled xinetd and configured the xinetd.conf file for SWAT. Using a putty SSH session I ran the the command xinetd -d to

Hitting a big mystery here. I've configured samba properly but I would like to run swat. The /etc/xinetd.d/swat file contains: service swat { disable = no port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure +=

My vsftpd was working. I use it configured via xinetd and turn it off (disabled = yes) when I'm not using it to keep the bad guys from hammering on it. Recently I upgraded to 4.2 (via yum update). That' the only change I know of on the system. And I didn't have any problems with it. Today when I try to ftp, i enabled it in xinetd.d (with disable = no and a "service

> Correct. Like most UDP-based inetd services, tftpd is intended to be run in 'wait' mode. When the first request arrives, inetd starts the service but does not read the incoming packet (it can't, because it has no way to pass it along to the server). After that, inetd ignores that socket until the server exits. This isn't critical for tftp, but it does help to keep down the
