thank you stephen. the issue is not so much my smb.conf, since killing the 2nd smbd process solves the problems.
rather, i'm stumped as to which script/tool is starting smbd the 2nd time. if i can turn that off, my problem will be solved. thanks On 19 Nov 2002 06:39:44 +1100 Stephen Kuhn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 2002-11-18 at 21:38, Stormjumper wrote: > > i'm wondering where samba is usually started in Mdk 8.2. > > > > the reason i'm asking is that everytime i wanna access my > > mdk 8.2 box from any windoze machine, i've to ssh in, > > and manually kill (as root) the most recent smbd process > > before i can successfully access it, else windoze will pop > > up a dialog box saying the "\\Mandrake is not accessible" > > > > fwiw, smbd and nmbd will show up in a 'ps -u root' as processes > > that started at boot time, then another smbd process will show > > up the moment the mdk8.2 box is accessed by a win machine. > > > > therefore, i'm suspecting that somehow, something is starting > > smbd for an extra and unnecessary time, causing the problem. > > > > any ideas, anyone? > > > > regards > > Have you configured SAMBA through SWAT?
