Dustin's right, I'm wrong. The samba and samba-common packages are different; my bad.
Will retry after lunch. Think I found the problem: immutable bits set on files in /etc/sysconfig.

Yeah, he *appears* to be missing samba.i386. samba-client and samba-common don't include the server functionality. That said, I don't know why /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb exists if samba isn't installed. --- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 http://www.puryear-it.com Author: "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" "Spam Fighting and Email Security in the 21st Century" Download your free copies: http://www.puryear-it.com/publications.htm Friday, November 3, 2006, 10:45:55 AM, you wrote: > John, > Did you do #yum install samba or #yum install samba-common to install > samba? > Karthik > -----Original Message----- > From: John Hebert [mailto:johnahebert at yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 9:30 AM > To: general at brlug.net > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] problems installing Samba on Fedora Core > 5:where's smbd and nmbd? > Dustin, > Here are the results: > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# service smb start > Syntax OK > Starting SMB services: /bin/bash: smbd: command not found > [FAILED] > Starting NMB services: /bin/bash: nmbd: command not found > [FAILED] > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep smbd > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep nmbd > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# smbclient -L //localhost -N > Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) > Connection to localhost failed > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# > Like I mentioned, samba-common is installed, but the smbd and nmbd binaries > aren't there. ??? > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# yum list installed | grep samba > samba-client.x86_64 3.0.23c-1.fc5 installed > samba-common.i386 3.0.23c-1.fc5 installed > This is Fedora Core 5 on a 64bit box: > [root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# uname -a > Linux houlnxfraud01.uclc.com 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 #1 SMP Sat Oct 14 16:59:56 > EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > I can't imagine that the released rpm has a bug on it, so I am suspecting my > server has a software config problem. > Thanks, > John Hebert > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Dustin Puryear <dustin at puryear-it.com> > To: John Hebert <general at brlug.net> > Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2006 10:46:01 PM > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] problems installing Samba on Fedora Core 5: > where's smbd and nmbd? > What happens when you do: > # service smb start > # netstat -nlpt | grep smbd > # netstat -nlpt | grep nmbd > # smbclient -L //localhost -N > --- > Puryear Information Technology, LLC > Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 > http://www.puryear-it.com > Author: > "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" > "Spam Fighting and Email Security in the 21st Century" > Download your free copies: > http://www.puryear-it.com/publications.htm > Thursday, November 2, 2006, 9:13:31 PM, you wrote: >> Howdy, >> I'm trying to install Samba on a FC5 server.
