I've just had this and it drove me crazy for a couple of days - started after I had been editing the smb.conf on a remote machine, and the conf file was the same on all three of my Samba servers except for a few lines - turns out I'd managed to get a capital S in one of the paths - took ages to spot such a simple error....

Rick Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 June 2003 18:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] stability I'm having problems when I restart the smb server with it not coming back up. As near as I can tell it's actually NMBD that's having the issue. I'm running RedHat 9.0 on a Compaq ML-370 with Dual 1.2GHz P3s and I just upgraded Samba to 2.2.8a-1 after having this same problem with 2.2.7a When I issue: #service smb restart It says that it shut down and restarted ok, but then nobody can logon to the domain, so I issue it again and it tells me that it couldn't kill nmbd, but then it starts it OK, and I can get everyone on. There's also been a few times where it just stopped accepting logons, after accepting them for most of the day, so I restart it, and it tells me then that it couldn't kill nmbd either. testparm doesn't find anything wrong with my config. Does anybody know of a way to stabalize this?
