similar to: smbd & nmbd: do they have to run at the same host?

To start all the daemons in my Linuxes I use the code like: errtext=`daemon 2>&1` if [ $? -ne 0 ]; do smth. with errtext too... And this used to work for Samba as well. But for 3.0.11 (and very probably not only for this release) this code doesn't work for nmbd: `nmbd 2>&1` freezes forever. But the daemon is started and works at the same time. And the shell

We're trying to dual home samba onto 2 windows domains. We're created 2 separate smb.conf files each having it's own domain specific info. The only differences between them are - different workgroups - different interfaces to bind too - different socket addressees (matches the interface) - and different WINS server IPs. We are using the security = domain model. We've

Hello all - I'm getting a weird error message on a custom system I'm trying to setup using SAMBA. The box is running a slightly modified 2.0.37 linux kernel to run the entire OS out of a huge (128 MB) ramdrive. This particular box will be running for years before anything should fail in it. Anyhow everything works fine so far, except neither smbd or nmbd will start with the following

Hello group, OS is OpenBSD 3.6 (macppc). I've been away for a while so excuse the obvious here... I did a pkg_add samba2.2.10.tgz which completed successfully. Now I'd like to start the daemons, however, where are the smbd and nmbd daemons? I've looked in /usr/local/bin and see: /usr/local/sbin laxbcastdns01# cd .. laxbcastdns01# cd bin laxbcastdns01# l total 8606 drwxr-xr-x 2

All, Looking at logs for 4.1.3 on my standalone server (Archlinux w/systemd), I get an error launching samba with 'systemctl start samba.service' telling me I should start all individual daemons instead (nmbd/smbd/winbindd) of using samba.service: Jan 07 22:25:07 phoinix systemd[1]: Starting Samba AD Daemon...

Greetings, I have recently installed SuSE 10 on a Dell PowerEdge 1800. Everything is up to date. I downloaded Samba 3.0.22, ran configure (with no options), make, and make install. I created a very skeleton smb.conf to test out the smbd and nmbd daemons. If I run the daemons, I cannot connect to them. If I run smbd --help, I get the following output: Usage: usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd [OPTION...]

Hi everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to start the smbd/nmbd daemons from an other HP Unix server. The installation of Samba has been made on a RAID mounted on an other Unix server (the main one). We want to do that because whe need to reduce the work of the main server.

Hi, Can anyone help with this? I've installed samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8. I have used the commands /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a/sbin/smbd -D /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a/sbin/nmbd -D to start the daemons, however both fail to start because they cannot find the following files /opt/local/packages/samba/private/secrets.tdb

hallo everybody, i've a little problem while i'm installing samba 2.2.8 for linux RedHat 8.0 with gnome kernel. actually, i'm new to this RedHat and this is my first time using RedHat and samba. my problem is i can't run the smbd and nmbd but i can use smbclient. what i'm noticed is smbclient is located in /usr/bin meanwhile smbd and nmbd in /usr/sbin ( i found it using

Hi all. Running 2.0.4b on a (now) solaris 2.6 box. Since the upgrade the smbd & nmbd daemons won't start. I tried starting smbd by hand, running it through truss. Here's the last few lines: getuid() = 0 [0] fstat(3, 0xEFFFF858) = 0 write(3, " [", 1) = 1 write(3, " 1 9 9 9 / 0

hi, masters! i have installed RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.5. i did everything step by step: ./configure , make , make install , etc... i cannot start 'smbd' and 'nmbd' daemons. i try to run them from the command line or from inetd and i get something like: "there is no such command" all Samba commands are in the same hierarchy /usr/local/samba/bin. i can run other

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 ? Claudiu premises: hardware: Digital server 2xPII 266/128MB/2x4GB SCSI

Anyone seen anything like this before? I start samba and both nmbd and smbd crash imediatly. Winbind stays running but the other 2 crash, Below is my log files. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is my Lib.c fubar or somethin screwy or do I have some setting wrong?

Hi, I've been running Samba successfully for several years. I tried running Samba on a new computer under Redhat 7.3 using a test smb.conf where testparm shows no errors. Running "smb start" runs properly i.e. starts smbd and nmbd, but after a few seconds both programs stop running (running "ps aux| grep smbd" shows job running, running "ps...." again shows

Hi All, I has been trying to port the Samba package to uClinux. But our uClinux toolchain doesn't support the fork() call. I must replace the fork with vfork.If we use vfork, the smbd and nmbd can not work rightly. both samba-3.0.32 and samba-3.0.2a have the question. In samba/source/smbd/server.c, the function open_sockets_smbd(), creates a child process and a parent process. Both these

Hi all! I just installed Samba 2.2.2 and able to issue: net use x: \\server\tmp and use Explorer to see the directory, I'm making progress...... In viewing the nmbd log file, I'm getting this repeated error: "Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup" nmbd/nmbd_browsesync:c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(360) find_domain_master_name_query fail: Unable to

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 start the 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.

Hello, with samba-3.0.x an "smbcontrol smbd ping" was answered by all running smbd processes. With samba-3.2.x it is now *also* answered by nmbd and winbindd: [root@cs00 ~]# smbcontrol -V Version 3.2.5 [root@cs00 ~]# for i in `smbcontrol -t 1 winbindd ping | grep PONG | awk '{ print $4}'` ; do pstree -p | grep $i ; done winbindd(29908) - winbindd(29909) [root@cs00 ~]#
