Title: SMB Failed on installation
Post by: Jeremy on August 01, 2002, 07:27:14 AM

crew,

I have recently done a fresh instal of 5.1.2 and on startup the progams smb and I think nmb fail. It would appear that this will stop other computers being able to logon to the domain. Is this the case?
Does anybody have know how to fix this problem as complete re installations do not fix this?

Jeremy

Hi,

SMB and NMB are the components that provide M$ domain services and networking. So yes it is the case.

What happens if you enter on the console:

service smb restart

Hi RequestedDeletion, I currently have the same problem. but running the command you said gives me the following error; Starting SMB services: No Such file or directory.

I also noticed that the samba configuration file is empty could this be the cause of the problem?

Hi,

Try enter: 'testparm' on the console. This will check your smb.conf file for errors.

If the smb.conf is empty (which is strange) try to expand it manually by entering:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

and

service smb restart
