smaba says "connection refused" on start (from lps

stubby · n00b Joined: 10 Jun 2002 Posts: 57

compiled samba fine, setup the /etc/samba/smb.con file.

When I do a /etc/init.d/samba start,
I get a connection refused.

Hmm, something I am missing?

I have the same exact problem and it's driving me nuts!!
I've been on all the pages and read all the how-tos and all the docs, mans, books and ALL to no avail.

I know it's something trivial I didn't do right - and that's what's driving me so nuts...

it sais on the samba load: "Lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused" but when I just do lpstat it works and recognize my tzila (hehe, my printer) right. it also prints under linux.

If you want help, we'll need to see your /etc/samba/samba.conf file.

I thought it was more cups related, anyway here's mine (minus the comments)

*scratches head* Dunno. It all looks fine... maybe one of the gurus can figure it out for you.

I ran into this as well--as someone said, google isn't really my friend here. However, there was one long thread about it--the consensus seems to be that the problem is in cups, rather than samba--that cups is loading some drivers, and doesn't finish before samba checks its (samba's) config files.
There was no real solution given, however, though there were some hints.

If anyone figures it out from the exchange given there, please let me know.
My workaround--took samba out of default startup

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have "tcpd" set in your USE variable? If so, do you have /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny setup?

Check your log files in /var/log/samba too.

I don't have host.allow and deny set up--haven't needed them for anything at present. What would I put in here--I've looked at the Man page, but as I'm not sure where the problem lies, not sure what I'd add. Again, judging from the thread that I saw, the problem lies more with cups doing something, but I'm certainly willing to try.

Samba logs don't indicate anything that I can see--several messages saying standard input is not a socket assuming -D option.

Also, no indication in cups access or error logs.

When you say do we have tcpd do you mean set or do you mean -tcpd in /etc/make.conf. In my case, I don't have it turned off in /etc/make.conf and it is set in make.defaults.
Thanks

I had this problem right after I emerged samba and before I configured the smb.conf.
