This is a Linux system configuration issue. This is a Samba issue IF you are using the official Samba-Team RPM. If you are using a vendor supplied RPM you need to take this up with the vendor. You need to make sure that Samba is not started up before your networking has been correctly started. Your choices are: - Contact your Linux Vendor for a fix _OR_ - Fix it yourself If you want to fix it yourself, you must: chkconfig nmb stop Edit the nmb file in the Init Scripts directory. At the top you will find the control settings for run levels and dependencies. These need to be adjusted so that nmb will start at the correct time. chkconfig nmb start You should do the same for smb. Note some vendors use different names for the control scripts that are run as part of the SysV InitScripts process. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
