Hi, For no particular reason, my Samba service didn't start yesterday, when I went to start it by going in the /usr/local/samba/sbin and then typing SMBD I got an error "permission denied" and something about the port 139 (sorry I don't have the whole error message) No changes were made on the box. I started looking over the web and I found an something out something to help me out on this issue. This is what I found Now, if you wish to use inetd to start the Samba daemons, enter suitable lines in the file /etc/inetd.conf, such as the following: netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat After editing the files, type refresh -s inetd. Now my question is : Why commenting that out made from the Indetd.conf works. In other case why did I had to go trough this to start the samba service, is the samba sercie suppose to start automatically ? Thanks for all your help Eddy
