Cheers Jerry, Your help is very much appreciated. Output from the two commands you asked me to run are here: http://ecrc2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/samba/smbd.txt and here: http://ecrc2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/samba/strace.txt Is there anything in those two that sheds any light? I'm sorry I don't really understand much of the output. The smbd.txt results seem to indicate that smdb started up OK. Is that what it means when it ends with: "waiting for a connection" ? If so, then it managed to run when started automatically, but not using the Fedoras init.d scripts. If smbd is running OK, then I guess I should redirect my questions to the fedora lists. > > What filesystems does the /etc/ directory reside on? ext3 Thanks in advance, Gav > > > > > > cheers, jerry > ===================================================================== > I live in a Reply-to-All world ----------------------- > Samba ------- http://www.samba.org > Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFD9IHQIR7qMdg1EfYRAgd4AJ93bW9Rk1QfuYDiS5ez8TQVDhWQ4wCfVJIj > jsrwJVcubPlHQPDwztyxVJw= > =rLRo > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Gavin Simpson [T] +44 (0)20 7679 5522 ENSIS Research Fellow [F] +44 (0)20 7679 7565 ENSIS Ltd. & ECRC [E] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk UCL Department of Geography [W] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/cv/ 26 Bedford Way [W] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ London.
