Samba - smbd stop and start problem

Mauro_8 — Mon, 22 Jul 2002 13:01:29 GMT

Hi,

I??m trouble with samba. When I sent the command "smbd stop" and then a "ps -fu root | grep smb" I saw "smbd stop" running forever and do not remove file smbd.pid. A similar problem happens when I send the command "smbd start", this process never die. I think the process that must be running continuosly is only smbd, it seens like samba is not starting and stopping correctly.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,
Mauro

Just one more detail, I have no samba daemon (nmbd) running !?

It's strange. Can you kill the smbd process by "kill -9 " and start the smbd again? If you again face the same problem use "truss -p

Hi,
On my side, to start /stop smbd, I'm not do it in a clean way but it works :
to start , I just use smbd command, I m running also nmbd by hand...
To stop, I kill processes smbd + nmbd

I don't think that parameter start /stop is taken in account with smbd....

hope that help

I do not have the truss command. I can kill the smbd process but the file smbd.pid still exists !?

It??s not good :-(

Mauro

Don't need to care about the smbd.pid file? When you again start the smbd process the process ID will be overwritten by the new process ID. You can even delete the file. The file will be recreated when you start the smbd.

You can find out truss/tusc software here,

Does truss command run under HP-UX 10.20 ?

As you have hpux 10.20 you can use trace software. You can use this link to download the trace software,

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/trace-1.6/

Trace is just like tusc package.

You cannot use smbd start and smbd stop.

Just use

/smbd
/nmbd to start the daemons.

Also the nmbd process should be running so that you machine an be visible on the windows machine.

Use Kill -9 to kill the process.

Thanks

Can I install it now ?

Any ideas ?

Sorry to say, but smbmount is not available for HP-UX 10.20. You need HP-UX 11 and up to use smbmount or cifsmount if you use the CIFS package from HP.

But you can still use smbclient to access the windows shares. This works like a ftp client.

Hope this helps
