Samba

[Robert Dege]

Okay, you can check the status of samba by doing:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status

to restart the Samba service:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

xinet.d is only used by Samba in conjunction with Swat.  If xinet.d in not
running, it does not impair Samba's functionality.  It only prevents you
from using Swat (for configuring Samba)


If swat says that it's not running, but `/etc/rc.d/init/d/smb status` says
that it is, try doing:

ps -ef | grep nmbd

This should let you know.

> I am running Samba server dual boot with windoze 2000 with Redhat 7.1
now because for the 5th time my Redhat 7.2 keeps crashing. I think I have
a bad distro. Every once in awhile my nmbd daemon stops running. How can I
restart it? When I use the command /etc/init.d/smb both say ok but when I
look in SWAT its not running. The only one running is smbd daemon. Can
anyone explain what I am doing wrong .  I do  test parm everything is
fine I restart xinet.d its fine.
