 |
|
I am trying to get samba up and running. I finally got SWAT figured out and it runs so I think xinetd is doing its job. However I go to check the status of smbd and nmbd in SWAT and they are not running. I can start them okay from SWAT and they work.
This is my xinetd.conf:
| 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
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/nmbd nmbd
|
These are also turned on in /etc/services
Obviously I am missing something, but what? I have tried everything I can think of, but haven't gotten anywhere.

What you showing here
| Code: | swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/nmbd nmbd |
is from your inetd.conf
xinetd is different.
there should be files in your /etc/xinet.d/ directory that start and stop scritps |

In /etc/xinetd.d I have:
| Code: |
shane $ ls /etc/xinetd.d
README.services chargen-udp daytime-tcp echo-tcp samba time-tcp
chargen-tcp cups-lpd daytime-udp echo-udp swat time-udp
|
I tried to copy the samba script from the /etc/inetd.d directory and it didn't seem to do anything.
I have no idea how to create the correct script for smbd and nmbd.
This is the samba script I copied over
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript

# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-fs/samba/files/samba-init,v 1.3 2003/02/14 23:00:14 vapier Exp $
opts="${opts} reload"
depend() {
need net
use cupsd
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting samba"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/smbd
result=$?
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/nmbd
result=$(( $result + $? ))
eend $result
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping samba"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/samba/smbd.pid
result=$?
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid
result=$(( $result + $? ))
eend $result
}
reload() {
ebegin "Reloading samba"
killall -HUP smbd &>/dev/null
result=$?
killall -HUP nmbd &>/dev/null
result=$(( $result + $? ))
eend $result
}
|
Should I have a script for smbd and nmbd each?
Sorry for the really noob questions, but this is the first thing I have run across where the docs are either not very good or I am missing something. |

Not familiar with smb through xinetd, but the 'gentoo' way to start these services is like so:
/etc/init.d/samba start
To get it to come up on boot up:
rc-update add samba default

Thanks
That did the trick.
How do I know when I need to use rc-update when I emerge a package? |

there is no good answer to that question because it is all subjective. Any package that you emerge will not automatically load itself with rc-update. It is up to the user to decide what services he wishes to run and when. When you emerge ssh for example this is a package that i added to default because I want to always be able to login to the box remotely. When I emerged webmin I did not run a rc-update because unless I need it at that moment(which is rare since I like command line more for configuring things) I do not want that service running. I rarely use it and when it is constantly running that take up resources(which are very scarce) so I start it and stop it when needed
rule of thumb i guess:
if you have to run "/etc/init.d/<package> start"
to get it running do you always want it on? if so then rc-update it
if not just start it when you need it
