Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem before. Firstly heres some background.
We run a fair few RH 7.2 servers which had been running samba 2.2.3a perfectly. I have now upgraded some of them to run samba 2.2.7a. On a few of these upgraded servers i find that when samba is stopped then started or restarted WINS fails to come up. Running smbclient -L //server reports wins_server_died(). Now having looked through the debug logs i have found that when the smb stop command is issued sometimes it fails to kill the running nmbd processes (both of them). Therefore when smb goes to start up it cant start nmbd as it is already started but is not accepting connections. If i manually kill the nmbd processes it works no worries. Basically the init script is not killing the nmbd processes, however the init script is EXACTLY the same as the servers that work fine. (I might add that all the server configurations are identical). I have tried every combination of uninstall / reinstall / upgrade of the samba rpm without luck. What puzzles me is that it only occurs on some of the servers. Obviously wins support = yes is set in the smb.conf file. Any ideas welcome. Thanks in advance. _____________________________ David Brown Systems Specialist CSM Technology Darwin, NT, Australia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ This e-mail, including any attachments, is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
