Something similar happens to me, again on 7.1 I can see Samba on the startup screen during boot, but after I log in it's not there. I can start it manually and it runs thereafter. Ditto NWserv. This is only the case *sometimes*. Both run happily when started manually, and both work fine from boot on a Redhat machine. I think I'm doing something wrong - I config'd all this some time ago and my memory of the details is now blurry.

I am having problems with my DNS. On a server running SuSE 7.1 the DNS daemon (named 8.2.3) aborts leaving no trace that I can find in the logs. It is not a problem to restart and then runs perfectly again. It has happened several times now with no apparent trigger or pattern. The config files for about 15 domains worked fine for over a year under SuSE 6.4 and were transferred directly to the new system.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
