This is an up date to my previous post. First I would like to thank everybody for there help and suggestions. This is what I found. After much chasing of my tail I went into YaST and removed Samba, as well as a bunch of other mail programs that I was not using and anything which I thought I did not need. I then reinstalled Samba, rebooted the system and smbd -D and nmbd -D now worked all the time. I still was not happy, as I wanted to know why before it did not work. The default smb.conf file worked and seemed stable. After a day I started to change one area at a time and this is when I found my problem I think. In smb.conf there is a line which says, "Please uncomment the following entry and replace the ip number and netmask with the correct numbers for your ethernet interface......" If I do this, then nmbd -D stops working. Evry time This is what I have found and I hope it helps someone. Drop me a note if you are reading this and have the same problem as my original post and this helps you. Best Regards Bryn Joynes Bryn Joynes wrote:
Hi,
Could someone please just give me a little help here. I got samba up and running from a simple installation. Was able to copy and delete files from Win --> Linux, everything worked find. Shut down the computer, went to bed, got up this morning and smbd -D worked, but not nmbd -D. Both are started by hand.
Checked /etc/log/log.nmb and found the following:
"12/30/1998 09:26:44 netbios nameserver version 1.9.18p4 started Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1994-1997
bind failed on port 137 socket_addr=192.168.0.2 (Cannot assign requested address)
make_subnet: Failed to open nmb socket on interface 196.168.0.2 for port 137. Error was Cannot assign requested address ERROR: Failed when creating subnet lists. Exiting."
Thanks Bryn Joynes
