Have you checked the output of testparm? Run it and see if it doesn't like some configuration settings. I had very similar results when I had some misspelled configuration settings.
And if that doesn't work, remove any and all log files, then add loglevel = 10 to your smb.conf, then start the server, wait a bit, then post the log files so we can help you debug the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LouArnold Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 7:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Samba] Help: smbd & nmbd normal states I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server. However only the nmbd daemon is running. I thought both smbd and nmbd should be running. On trying to start smbd with: >/sbin/service smb start the result is "starting smbd [FAILED]" Stopping smbd of course has no effect, and starting or restarting nmbd works just fine. I'm stumped! I turned SELinux and the firewall off. I stopped sendmail. I configured a share, and set up a user for it. I can't think of what else might be a problem. This worked before on a previous life of the system under FC4. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help%3A-smbd---nmbd-normal-states-tf2082053.html#a 5736427 Sent from the Samba - General forum at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
