Hi,
We've got a fresh CentOS 5.4 box, and the only glitch so far is that /etc/init.d/smb doesn't start smbd. It claims it does - shows "[ok]"
- but
only nmbd ends up running. Even setting a higher debugging level in the smbd flags, nothing logs or shows on the console as to why smbd is immediatly quitting.
To make it stranger, doing this works fine:
. /etc/init.d/functions daemon smbd -D
That's the core of how the /etc/init.d/smb file is set up to start it. Except from there it's not working - despite the reported "[ok]".
Anyone seen this, or have advice on how to debug it?
By any chance did someone add smbd to xinetd?
If so then xinetd has the port open and the smbd process will not bind.
