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...

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

Hi, I'm new in the Linux world, I've worked for about tree months with Debian and I've a big problem to start the samba services (nmbd and smbd). I downloaded the samba-latest.tar.gz from the www.samba.org and tried to compile it. I didn't have problem with it, but I can't initialize the services. What can I do? Thanks a lot. -- Rodrigo Hashimoto

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

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 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, 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

I am running a Samba 2.x.x on a Solaris 9 and I get this when I start the demon at the command line. # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D ld.so.1: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd: fatal: libpopt.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory Killed Please help. Shreeraj Karulkar (650) 244 4375

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

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

I need to change the server and master name on the node. How is that done.

hi, i upgraded to samba 2.2.7 and since this nmbd (configured to start from xinetd) doesn't start! i sent SIGHUP to xinetd and can see that configuration is ok (netbios-ns is readjusted) but nmbd doesn't start!! when i start nmbd by hand with "-D" i see many messages from xinetd in /var/log/secure: Dec 3 12:05:39 atpcw6yc xinetd[1724]: START: netbios-ns pid=1973

Hi all, I had a very simple samba-2.2.3a installation running. Not as domain master or such. Now after upgrading to 2.4.9-31 kernel, I am unable to start nmbd. smbd starts okay. Does anyone know of any selection in the config for a newly compiled kernel that could prevent nmbd from running? Is there a confict with this kernel downloaded from ftp.redhat.com? TIA Bob -- Bob

Hello! I have cross-compiled Samba 2.2.3a for my Dreambox(PPC DVB receiver with Linux). smbd runs without any problems but when I start nmbd I get the following error message: -------------------------------------------- standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option open_socket_in(): setsockopt: SO_REUSEADDR = True on port 137 failed with error = Protocol not available Failed to set socket

I have checked the DNS configuration as you recommended, and run more tests.

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 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
