SAMBA

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

I am trying to get SAMBA working again on my HPUX 11.i server. For some reason it stopped working after the server was rebooted a couple of weeks ago. Here is the error that I am getting.

[2004/08/04 13:37:08, 0] smbd/server.c:(793)
smbd version 2.2.8a based HP CIFS Server A.01.10 started.
Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2002
[2004/08/04 13:37:08, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(804)
bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.
Error = Address already in use


Thanks for any help.

Is another process already using port 139? You can use netstat -an or lsof to see if this port is being used by another process.

Looks like you already have nmbd or some other process using the port 139.

As Dave has suggested, download lsof from HP-UX porting site and find out the process using the port 139.

Kill the process and restart samba again

# stopsmb

# startsmb

Thanks for the help. I ended up rebooting my server and when it restarted samba was working properly again.

Reboot is certainly another way to go. :)

You might want to consider getting a copy of lsof on the box in case this happens again.
