Hi, I have 3 linux boxes (2 running LM7.1, 1 running LM 7.2). The 7.2 box I reinstalled over the weekend from redhat 6.2. All machines run samba, however 2 of the 3 (including the reinstalled machine which is our printserver) are getting the following error very often: Can't create or use IPC area. Error was File exists ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes Can't initialise shared memory - exiting Both of the boxes that are giving problems are pretty standard installs, with virtually nothing compiled from source, both running the mandrake secure kernels. The box that is running fine (which happens to be our Primary Domain Corntroller - so it's a good thing we don't get this error here) is running on a kernel I compiled from vanilla source patched for ReiserFS, ide (ata66) and openwall security. All machines are currently running Mandrake packages of samba 2.0.7. So it appears that there may be a problem with the (secure only?) mandrake kernels. Here is another post which indicates a problem with Mandrake :http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=97212115732375&w=2 I have just rebooted the machine with the non-secure kernel, and samba seems to be running ok. (note to those following the cd-writing problem, this does not fix it ... looks like I will be compiling a new kernel for this box anyway) So is there a way to run a secure samba box with Mandrake ?? (or am I going to be compiling my own kernels for the other 2 boxes). Buchan
