Does the /usr/local/samba-3.0.0rc4/var/locks/ directory exists? Witch yes it does. Sorry, i didn't read the code enought. The error would not be the same. same problem with both... This is normal, since pid files are handle by samba itself Perhaps it's related to my kernel but actually samba

yes i'm using init.d (redhat style). samba is installed in /usr/local/samba-3.0.0rc4/. I've got a symbolic link to /usr/local/samba which is used by the init.d script. Le Mercredi 24 Septembre 2003 19:22, Matias Silva a écrit : It looks like you are still trying to access the 3.0 version pid

Sorry I thought you were trying to get the 2.2 running again but its the 3.0 version you want to get running ... you were perfectly clear it was I who misread it ... I was doing some searching ... and could not find anything useful ... sorry, try 2.2.8a I have installed on Red Hat 9 ... Bruno
