I cannot/do not understand what the logfile means! Best regard Nico
I just unmerge samba, removed all config files. Then I did a fresh installation of samba. Without further configuration, the demons worked again. I copied the smb.conf back in and I got the same errors as before! I started a new smb.conf with the same options, and the demons work now. Was There a change in the config handling I the recent time? If it was up to me, mark the bug as invalid and move on! Greets Nico PS. Sorry for having wasted your time!
Since this doesn't seem caused by daemons, but configuration, I think the bug invalid. Just for reference: could you attach your smb.conf (except the sensitive parts: pwd and alike) to this bug?
This is my old smb.conf, which worked on 3.0.10, but not on later versions *************** old smb.conf ********************** # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2005/03/15 13:08:40 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SCHLUMBERGER server string = Kor null passwords = Yes guest account = samba, guest log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 os level = 40 wins server = 192.168.1.1, 192.168.180.113 ldap ssl = no valid users = @samba, @users read list = guest printer admin = root create mask = 0766 guest ok = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.180.112/28, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.0/24 [public] comment = Public Files path = /mnt/samba [music] comment = Music Files path = /mnt/music read only = No guest ok = No **************** old smb.conf **************************** And this would be my new one.
