 |
|
Hello,
Trouble with samba on my server. I upgraded from an old 3.0.x version (I think it was 3.0.18?) and now my samba init script won't do anything. It returns with no output. If I try and run it again, it says Samba is already running (it isn't): | Code: | leprechaun ~ # /etc/init.d/samba start
leprechaun ~ # ps aux | grep samba
root 15719 0.0 0.0 1396 420 pts/0 S+ 1:42 0:00 grep samba
leprechaun ~ # /etc/init.d/samba start
* WARNING: "samba" has already been started.
leprechaun ~ # ls /var/run/samba
leprechaun ~ # /etc/init.d/samba stop
leprechaun ~ # |
In desperation I unmerged samba, moved /etc/samba /etc/conf.d/samba /var/cache/samba and /var/lib/samba out of the way, and remerged samba.
Stopping, zapping, and restarting the service doesn't help.
[edit:]
Also, nothing is written to /var/log/everything/current (I'm running metalog) or /var/log/samba/* except: | Code: | | Aug 13 13:41:28 [rc-scripts] WARNING: "samba" has already been started. |
Any ideas?

| you can't find a process called samba, because there is none. the processes are called smbd, nmbd and, if you have it winbindd. |

Of course you're right... I normally look for smbd but I typed the wrong thing when crafting this post.
"ps aux | grep smbd" also doesn't find anything.
Further investigation:
It seems that the daemon_list variable is getting wiped out. If I stick | Code: | | "echo ${daemon_list}" |
... in the init script somewhere, it outputs nothing. I've checked /etc/conf.d/samba and it does contain | Code: | | daemon_list="smbd nmbd" |
although also if I manually put that line into the init script, just before 'signal_do' then it works... Although obviously this is a hack.
