 |
|
Hey guys, samba just randomly refused to start - I think after portage updated me to 3.0.22-r3
This is my error:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/samba restart
* samba -> start: smbd ... [ !! ]
* samba -> start: nmbd ... [ ok ]
* Error: stopping services (see system logs)
* samba -> stop: smbd ... [ !! ]
* samba -> stop: nmbd ... [ !! ]
|
This is my log:
| Code: | [2006/07/20 22:28:03, 0] smbd/server.c:main(805)
smbd version 3.0.22 started.

User ftp in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

The user ftp is just some thing I was messing with - a user I decided to map my guest to. That is not the problem. The last line is where I think it jams up. Any ideas?

Try making "nobody" the guest user.
