[nflug] samba wont start, fedora core 4, thinkpad x41

[Mark Leffler]

HI, yes I do have a smb.conf. Edited by hand, also looked at it with the GUI tool.

The problem is more basic - the daemon won't even start. I have installed and configured samba many times previously and I have never seen it give me a boot time error. I am thinking about re-installing the samba rpms.

Networking otherwise is working, I can actually "connect to server," choose windows share, plug in the right IP address & authentication & get files off of a windows box.

    Hi -

    I installed Fedora core 4 on an IBM thinkpad X41, and am getting a weird samba error. SMB won't start. If I watch the messages upon bootup, it gives me the following complaint:

    Starting SMB Services: /etc/init.d/functions:     line 83: 2461 aborted

    Any attempts to start smbd yield "failure". 

    Everything else works pretty much (except wireless, but that's another note). 

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Thanks,
    Mark

  You should verify that you actually have a /etc/samba/smb.conf file and that it's configured properly.
