I have been seeing samba problems in 9.0 but none seem to match my experience.
I am unable to access one of the two shares from a VMware virtual machine
(the fact that I see this in VMware is unimportant - the same thing happens
when I access the shares from another machine). I start samba at startup and
service smb status shows the smb and nmb daemons running, reporting their
process ids. I do not use the samba that comes with VMware. This happens
when I run Shorewall, with the right ports open, or when Shorewall is stopped
before I see the problems.
I can access the work share but not the rjr share. When I try to access rjr
windows explorer hangs and I need to kill it. When I shut down the machine
(not VMware but my athlong box) I get the following error.
Shutting Down SMB Services: /etc/rc6.d/K09smb: line 253 kill (###): no such
process.
It then has trouble unmounting partitions telling me that devices are busy.
The relevant parts of smb.conf are given below. Strangley, sound is turned
off in KDE after this happens. Help appreciated.
