Hi,
I am trying to install samba on the RHEL. The installation completes but
after that I get the smbd dead message upon checking the status:
[r...@usps-dc1-pc12 share]#
[r...@usps-dc1-pc12 share]# service smb status
smbd dead but pid file exists
nmbd (pid 8078) is running...
[r...@usps-dc1-pc12 share]#
Hi Shuaib,
Seems to me I had the same problem on CentOS 5.2 a
few months back.
Try this:
1) stop the service:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
2) erase any stray PID's:
rm /var/run/smbd.pid
rm /var/run/nmbd.pid
3) restart the service:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
If that does not work, try rebooting.
HTH,
