 Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:32 pm Post subject: starting and stopping samba |
 |
|
with samba-2.2.8a AND 3.0.1-r1
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/samba start |
goes fine, apparently and gives me an "OK", yet nothing is started!
so when I get to /etc/init.d/samba stop I inevitably get
| Code: | * Stopping samba...
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 16323: No such process
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 16325: No such process [ !! ] |
(for various pids)
I have emerge -C and re-emerged to noavail. I really need the shares for my office, please help! |

Then you have config errors, run
to see what it says.

yes, you are quite right
(I was going for a plea than for any type of shoving. For that I am not only apologetic but am, of course, MOST grateful for your speed reply!
The situation isn't really as dire as I would perhaps have you believe, things are redirected to another server for the minute but in the heat of the moment my desperation surfaced badly. A lesson hard learnt on forum etiquette I feel...)
anyway,
testparm was actually one of the first things I tried. the only error found is | Code: | WARNING: You have some share names that are longer than 8 chars
These may give errors while browsing or may not be accessible
to some older clients
|
and as the majority of the workstations run win2k I was none to concerned with this. Is this perhaps my mistake? |

Hokay, let's go the hog 
- how did you verify that samba hasn't started ?
- what do the samba logs say about it ?
It isn't the easiest of logs to read, but do it anyway...
The only answers (if any) will be in there.
And it could be a stupid thing, like being enabled in xinetd.
(That means xinetd has the ports in use and it can't start.)
EDIT: samba is actually one of the most versatile and flexible daemons around - you never ever need to restart it, it will re-read its config every minute or so.

wow! that is damned handy to know.
I was verifying that it wasn't started by the absence of smbd and nmbd from ps -A
after many moves of alternative smb.conf possibilities [the original being as a pdc - which caused win2k to bsod - and the second just being for a workgroup]
so... (/var/log/)
samba/log.smbd has the very exciting

while samba/log.nmbd has the intriguing

I know it's a lengthy post, I'll edit out the non-essentials if ever this gets resolved. cheers for the suggestion. the logs, somehow, evaded my eyes after foo hours staring radiating my brain with a crt monitor. As I mentioned, I did have it working impressively for a while as a pdc but all the win2k clients bsod-ed! Still to go from that to nothing is a tad soul destroying... |

As I said: it may already be running through (x)inetd, in which case the ports will be in use.
What does
tell you ?
For xinetd, check /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/xinetd.d/s(a)mb(a)

I've been having trouble with vmware virtual machines and I'm now starting to wonder if they're related as netstat -ltp reveals | Code: | Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 172.16.156.:netbios-ssn *:* LISTEN 28272/vmware-smbd
tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 462/couriertcpd
tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 5944/apache2 |
I've not been xinetd-ing sot eh /etc/xinetd.conf is (what I imagine to be the default) | Code: | # Sample configuration file for xinetd
defaults
{
only_from = localhost
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d |
with nothing samba-y in /etc/xinet.d
after repeated samba zaps and starts i now see I have nmbd running. whoever said "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of madness"...was right! cos I feel I'm going slightly crazy |

The samba ports are in use - so it can't start.
Simple, no ?

aha! killing the vmware-smbd has solved the problem!
the intermittent nature of it was what was getting me...mystery solved!
thankyou! |
