Are you running with SELinux on?
Now there's a good question, it turns out. I'd assumed CentOS followed the pattern of most distros in having it not be in strictest mode out-of-the-box, but in /etc/selinux/config:
SELINUX=enforcing
I can see where to turn it off in /etc/selinux/config. But what's the step to get it to restart, other than rebooting the system? Reload a module?
And I'd point out that _nothing_ about smbd was being logged previously, until upgrading samba from the CentOS 5.4 version to the current version started throwing this error:
May 25 19:22:26 xyz smbd[5455]: [2010/05/25 19:22:26, 0] lib/messages.c:message_init(132) May 25 19:22:26 xyz smbd[5455]: ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database
Isn't selinux supposed to be competent enough to log events that it presents? There's nothing from it in anything under /var/log. So if selinux is causing this whole problem, it's pretty incompetent at it. Anything worth blocking is certainly worth logging, right?
