Hi, /etc/init.d/samba start reports ok for both demons, but smbd isn't running. This is in log.smdb [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(134) Failed to open group mapping database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:get_group_map_from_gid(275) failed to initialize group mapping [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/account_pol.c:init_account_policy(52) Failed to open account policy database [2005/09/22 16:08:47, 0] lib/messages.c:message_init(106) ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database It's a brand new install, this happened with 3.0.14a-r2 as well as 3.0.20-r1, can't work out why.

Sorry, I was doing a new install, adding to the default installed smb.conf, which had lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/lock in it, a non-existant directory. I added the directory and smbd started up fine, then commented it out and deleted the /usr/local directory and smbd also worked fine. Thanks
