Re: [newbie] question MCC, samba and /etc/init.d
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?

And keep in mind that smb and nbmd run hand-in-hand...it is rather strange, tho that other instances of smb start up after a login attempt...hmmm... to be honest, i'm not really sure how to go thru my init scripts. i tried as root in /etc 'grep -r smbd *' and it gave me a whole list of stuff in init.d that i didn't have the confident to change. i also figured that if my problems were with the 2nd instance, fault shouldn't lie with init.d. in fact, i would think that nmbd and smbd were correctly started at boot, but an entry in inetd was spawning it again. the problem with this line of thot is that mdk8.2 uses xinetd, and i didn't find any references to smbd, (which may be 'cos i'm not that familiar with xinetd and doesn't know where to look) does any of this make sense? does anyone know where smbd could possibly have been called from? thanks.
