Correct, samba normally starts up one nmbd, and an smbd per connection, and en extra nmdb when running WINS. > OK fair enough but then there's a problem with "service smb stop" that > cannot handle this 2nd nmbd process correctly. > No, there's probably something wrong with your config. > # service smb start > Starting SMB services: [OK] > Starting NMB services: [OK] > > # service smb status > smbd (pid 4094) is running... > nmbd (pid 4105) is running... > 4104 (pid ) is running... > pid 4104 is (probably) the one started by the init script, 4105 is the one spawned later. > # service smb stop > Shutting down SMB services: [OK] > Shutting down NMB services: /etc/init.d/smb: line 253: kill: (4105) No > such process > Somewhere between here and your previous command, something killed nmbd with pid 4105 > # service smb status > smbd is stopped > nmbd (pid 4180) is running... > and for some reason you have another one running which wasn't running before, and shouldn't have been. I have an out-the box 9.0, with no configuration of samba: here I turn on wins support: [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf Check what was running before turning on WINS: [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb status smbd (pid 1800) is running... nmbd (pid 1812) is running... and restart it: [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb restart Shutting down SMB services: [ OK ] Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ] Starting SMB services: [ OK ] Starting NMB services: [ OK ] [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb status smbd (pid 16954) is running... nmbd (pid 16965) is running... 16964 (pid ) is running... [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb stop Shutting down SMB services: [ OK ] Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ] [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb status smbd is stopped nmbd is stopped [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb start Starting SMB services: [ OK ] Starting NMB services: [ OK ] [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb status smbd (pid 17067) is running... nmbd (pid 17084) is running... 17077 (pid ) is running... [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# ps -ax|grep [m]bd 17067 ? S 0:00 smbd -D 17077 ? S 0:00 nmbd -D 17084 ? S 0:00 nmbd -D [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# cat /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid 17077 [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# service smb stop Shutting down SMB services: [ OK ] Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ] [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# ps -ax|grep [m]bd [root@bgmilne bgmilne]# I take it you have done standard debugging, which with samba would be: 1)Run testparm to check for errors in your config file. 2)Turn up logging (at least 'log level = 3' in the global section of smb.conf), restart samba, and take a look in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd 3)Checked syslog etc I am 95% sure this is a configuration issue, as we haven't really modified the smb init script in a long time (in fact, I think it may be identical to the one shipped with Mandrake 8.2 in samba-2.2.3a-10mdk, our patch in Mandrake CVS which was applied in 2.2.3a-10mdk: http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/samba/Attic/samba-2.2.3a-init.patch went into samba CVS before the release of 2.2.4 http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/samba/packaging/Mandrake/smb.init?only_with_tag=SAMBA_2_2 ) If you still have errors, please either 1)Send your whole smb.conf (to me or [EMAIL PROTECTED], or both) if you made it with some tool like SWAT 2)If you have edited the smb.conf from the one provided by the rpm, you could diff your existing one against the provided winbind version (maybe we need to provide two copies of the default smb.conf in future, Sly?), which has limited known differences. $ diff -u /etc/samba/smb-winbind.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf Also, some idea of your environment would be useful (other samba / windows servers, firewalled or not. P.S. There will probably be an update for samba in the works, for other reasons ...
