I'm not a db user at all but I install postgress and have the same problem, " Starting Samba daemons :mdbFATAL : StreamServerPort: bind() failed : \ Adress already in use "
Can u please describe the exact steps to go around this problem ? What `file-init' has to be modified ? Thank you for your participation, FLorentin.
