Suse 9.3: Samba server start up problem
One of our Suse 9.3 (x86-64 opteron) boxes is found stopped serving clients. It was running Samba (and client) 3.0.13-1.1 with yast2-samba-server 2.11.14-3 and yast2-samba-client 2.11.5-3. Any attempt with smbclient -L localhost gets a connection refused error. The smbd daemon appears to be running on the system: /usr/sbin/smbd -D -s /etc/samba/smb.conf But probing the ports 139 and 445 get the same connection refused errors. There is no error recorded in /var/log/samba/log.smbd. I have tried: a. turn off all firewall (iptables -F and explicitely so from yast2 firewall) b. reinstall samba (now back to the DVD version 3.0.12-5) c. and copied a working smb.conf from another identical system. d. turn on the debug option -d 10 in /etc/init.d/smb, no error. No joy. The system is still showing a running daemon, but any probe to port 139 and 445 still get connection refused. It looks like smbd is not receiving any call. But with tcpdump, I can tell a remote smbclient call is certainly reaching this host. It looks like I need a more detailed start up debugging. Anyone any idea? Thanks. Peter
