Samba will not start on a server of mine:
sudo /sbin/service smb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
sudo /sbin/service smb status
smbd dead but pid file exists
nmbd (pid 13503) is running...
cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = global
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = devserver
server string = Samba Server
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
read only = No
local master = No
dos filetime resolution = yes
[tmp]
path = /tmp
testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[tmp]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
sudo /sbin/service smb stop
Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED]
Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ]
pwd
/var/run
ll | grep smb
(nothong)
Yet.. it still will not start.. sometimes it has.. but then restarting it
(with no changes to smb.conf) then it will not start.
What gives?
