SMBD recently started getting picky about NMBD's startup errors. NMBD has never worked for me (ever, on any machine I've ever set up) and I've always had to access my shares from my HTPC by the server's IP address. I don't really care about getting NMBD working as long as SMBD will start.

Information:
Code:
jormungand ~ # /etc/init.d/samba start
 * samba -> start: smbd ...                                               [ ok ]
 * samba -> start: nmbd ...                                               [ !! ]
 * Error: starting services (see system logs)
 * samba -> stop: smbd ...                                                [ ok ]
 * samba -> stop: nmbd ...                                                [ !! ]


[ebuild R ] net-fs/samba-3.0.24-r3 USE="acl cups pam python readline swat -async -automount -caps -doc -examples -fam -kerberos -ldap -oav -quotas (-selinux) -syslog -winbind"

Code:
jormungand ~ # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2007/07/22 13:21:35

[global]
        workgroup = OMNI_LAN
        interfaces = eth2
        security = SHARE
        auth methods = guest
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        ldap ssl = no
        hosts allow = localhost, 192.168.
        hosts deny = 0.0.0.0

[Archive]
        path = /home/archive
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

[Current]
        path = /home/current
        read only = No

        guest ok = Yes

[Downloads]
        path = /home/drasnor/Downloads
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes


Code:
jormungand ~ # cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd
[2007/07/22 13:27:21, 0] smbd/server.c:main(847)
  smbd version 3.0.24 started.

nmbd continues running after the start/stop daemon attempts to shut it down. nmbd does not create a log. dmesg doesn't contain anything useful.

I discovered Microsoft's Services for UNIX package and its Windows NFS client, dumped the Samba server, and went over to NFS. Problem solved.
