Hi,
I must be really dense today, but there is something weird with samba
on the RH7.3 system I am using at work.
kernel-2.4.18-3
samba-2.2.3a-6
initscripts-6.67-1
I start samba (with "/sbin/service smb start" or equivalent), get OK
from both smbd and nmbd, and I expect to be able to use port 139 and
port 901 (SWAT). I get "connection refused" on both.
Things I've checked:
* iptables -L: ACCEPT on everything.
* /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} were both empty (apart from comments), I
changed hosts.allow to "ALL: ALL", to no avail.
* I put "hosts allow = 127." in smb.conf - no difference.
* nmap says indeed that ports 139 and 901 on 127.0.0.1 are closed.
* "smbclient -L 127.0.0.1" and "telnet 127.0.0.l 139" say
"connection refused".
* funnily, while "pgrep smbd" gives me a pid, "/sbin/service smb
status" says "smbd is stopped" ("nmbd is running"), apparently
because "pidof", called from the status function, does not return a
pid.
I must be missing something simple here. I'll be grateful for ideas.
