Hello Nash,
You'd better have a look at the startup-script /etc/init.d/smb. I haven't
installed it 2.0.9, but if there is something wrong it will be here. If you
want I can have a look at it.
I installed the 2 security upgrades (Samba and Smbclnt) from
the Suse 'Updates and Patches' webpage (Suse 7.1).
Since then, samba does no longer start automatically,
that is :
- I get the boot-message
' Starting smb done'
- But it is NOT running (checking with either
ps ax|grep smb or /etc/rc.d/smb status)
Thanks, well I certainly could use some advice.
Too see more clear, I added some echo's in this file

(================= END PASTE /etc/rc.d/smb =====================)
Reboot to see the exact boot messages gave me :
xxxxx 01 Begin
xxxxx 02
xxxxx 03
Starting SMB services: done
xxxxx 07
--------------------------------
223 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01smb start
231 ? R 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
233 ? R 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01smb start
--------------------------------
xxxxx 08
But when I connect as root, I see smb is NOT running
~ # cd /erc/rc.d
/etc/rc.d # ./smb status
xxxxx 01 Begin
xxxxx 02
xxxxx 06
Checking for service smb: No process No process
xxxxx 07
--------------------------------
1918 pts/2 S 0:00 /bin/sh ./smb status
1928 pts/2 S 0:00 grep smb
--------------------------------
xxxxx 08 Gedaan
/etc/rc.d #
Then : ./smb start
Follewed by ./smb status
Gives :
Checking for service smb: OK OK
I retried the whole thing, after disabling the SuSEfirewall
(START_FW="no" in /etc/rc.config), but it made no difference.
Greetings,
Marcel
