[Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line
I am running SAMBA on Red Hat 7.0 and after a bad upgrade my SAMBA server is dead. I ended up re-installing from the source and now my server is not accessible to our Win9x clients. smbstatus show the server running but no one on the network can see the server. I am still a bit of a newbie and I am having trouble troubleshooting this. I really am in a jam and I need some help ASAP. I am not sure where to start. Thanks, Dan

Dan, First things first, read the troubleshooting chapter: http://us6.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf of this Samba book. It should set you on the way to a working Samba installation immediately.

For starters, I would find the file DIAGNOSIS.txt and walk through it. It is a very good trouble shooting guide. In my source distribution, it hangs out in /docs/text.

RE: [Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line
I am looking at it right now... the problem is that smbd will not even start. I have tried re-installing and nothing is working. I try starting smbd -d from the command line and I get no feed back and SAMBA does not start. It is not even logging at all. I must have really messed things up.

RE: [Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line
Run netstat-a | more and make sure the port smbd wants to use is NOT in use by some other process. Just something to check. Also, check syslog for log messages from smbd. Ports 137-139 are the ports you're interested in, I believe.

Re: [Samba] Desperate Help Required Getting SAMBA back on line
H.. You said the server was running in your first post. OK. What happens when you type: which smbd If you get a response, then try smbd This should start the daemon. I don't get any feedback when it starts up. Try: ps ax | grep smbd to see if it is running Joel On Thu, Dec 19, 2002 at 03:19:13PM -0700, Dan Tappin wrote: I am looking at it right now... the problem is that smbd will not even start.
