Hello, My only hard drive failed on a private server so I had to replace it and reinstall Centos 6.5 and Samba. My smb.conf file is OK according to "testparm". I configured smb and nmb, with chkconfig, to start when the system boots. After the system boots if I do "service nmb status" I get the response "nmbd dead but pid file exists". I can delete the pid file

Folks My experiments have shown that Samba behaves differently in Centos 5.6 and Centos 6 (updated). In Centos 5, service smb restart restarts both smb and nmb. In Centos 6, however, it restarts only smb. REMEDY: a) Make sure that both services running b) Issue chkconfig smb on chkconfig nmb on IS THIS THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR I have no idea if this difference is a

Hi all, i planned for a startup to install one of this gui tools. But if i look in the documentation, or google it, i find no results which helps. If i would like to install the rpm package i get the following dependencies problems rpm -i puppet-dashboard-1.2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm warning: puppet-dashboard-1.2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: NOKEY, key ID 4bd6ec30 error: Failed

I made the samba startup scipt and named it smb,..and placed it in the /etc/rc.d/init.d dir, and then next (exactly like it says) chmod 777 smb chkconfig --add smb chkconfig --level 345 smb on at this point i ran: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start I get the following error.. /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Starting SMB services: execvp: No such file or directory [FAILED] Starting NMB services:

First, i'm sorry to be so silly that i don't even to success a basic samba configuration simply working. Compilation of the rc2 had no errors. testparm against my smb.conf said ok, and i can start nmbd and smbd. I also add a new unix user, said toto, and added it in samba. The problem is that i can't connect to any share, via Windows or via GNU/Linux. The result from Windows is a new

John, thanks for that hint. It did not kill the server by you are perfectly right. I changed this and restarted the "smb" and "nmb" deamons - unfortunately with the same result. When I watch e.g. the status with "swat" I see as follows after trying with: smbclient -U <user> -L win2k1 (what is strange since I connect as different user and not

I recently upgraded my Linux distro to SuSE 8.1 which came w/samba 2.2.5. A feature of the upgrade was that it 'split' the startup script for samba from 1 script for _smb_ & _nmb_ to 2 scripts. Now the prologue (used by insserv to create the numbered startup scripts with dynamic numbering based on dependencies in the prologues of all the startup scripts for a given run level) says

Hi We have installed a two node ctdb cluster using glusterfs it works fine, but we want that the users be able to find the server in the network section of windows explorer. We are using fedora 23 and nmb doesn't start with ctdb i tried the following change in /etc/ctdb/events.d/50.samba *) # Use redhat style as default:

I have been working on this problem for quite some time now and have not been able to find the solution. I have Samba running on Debian Linux 3.0 (Woody) as a primary domain controller. From my Windows 2000 desktop I am able to browse that Linux server with Windows Explorer. My biggest problem is trying to log in to that domain. Under Windows 2000 I am able to join the domain (sjmlinux) but

On my CentOS 6 partition of my laptop: First note that for this test, NetworkManager is not running because I did: chkconfig --del NetworkManager and then rebooted. Here is my ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE="eth0" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT=no HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.2.5 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 DNS1=192.168.2.1 DNS2=192.168.2.1

I just upgraded my system to Fedora Core 7 from Core 6 and I find that now Samba doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. If I try to connect from my laptop computer running Windows XP I just get one shared folder that has only a few subfolders (probably because offline files is turned on). If I try to connect by using the IP address (\\192.168.0.5) it tells me that it's not accessible

I have a project due at school and have chosen Samba servers to research. I am trying to find a source of information that discusses the corporate advantage to Samba. How much money can a company save in NT server licensing fees for example. Something that would help me write a fictitious business proposal. If anyone can quick point me in a direction here I would appreciate it.

Hello all, There are two issues in OpenSSH RPM Red Hat spec file (against 2.2.0p1): 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd uses 'success' and 'failure'. These don't work in Red Hat 5.2; else the spec file is fine. Initscripts requirement (for the one in RH60) added. 2. If you're upgrading over SSH ltd's ssh-server, the server will be stopped and sshd removed from chkconfig

Hello, I am new to Linux, Samba, and actually servers in general. I am attempting to set up a Linux file server and join it to a Windows 2000 domain. All I want to be able to do is get files from the linux file server and put files on it. I do not want it to be the domain controller. I join the domain using: net join -S 10.10.10.40 -UAdministrator%password It tells me that I have joined

Dear samba users: I am new on this list and know samba at a very basic level. I use openSUSE 42.2 Leap with its default samba 4.4.2 version. This is what I would like to achieve: I have a guest windows OS in virtualbox 5.1. Occasionally I have to print documents from this guest OS using my printer configured in openSUSE. I would like to use samba to share my printer between the linux host and

Damien-- Attached is a patch to contrib/redhat/sshd.init which eliminates the dependency on the success() and failure() functions from initscripts>=4.16. This allows sshd.init to be used for both early and recent releases of Red Hat Linux (i've confirmed it works on both 4.2 and 5.2 as well as 6.2). The patch also removes the 'Requires: initscripts >= 4.16' line from

I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I
