[Samba] Problem Restarting Samba3
I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I can't make it accessible to my Windows machines unless I reboot the Linux box. Simple restarting Samba3 doesn't do the trick (I think it's making Samba 2.2.8a START after shutting down Samba 3.0.0). Is there any trick to adding new shares and making them accessible to Windows without restarting either Samba3 or the whole server? And if I have to restart Samba3 -- and if I succeed in making it really restart -- won't that disconnect Windows users who are already connected to the server? Thanks for your advice.

Not even. New shares are available immediately AFAIK. At least the were in 2.2.x.

Sounds like you may not be stopping the smbd3 competely. How are you stopping the service? Do verify that the smbd3 is stopped: ps -ae | grep smbd3 Also, here are the latest Mandrake RMPS for Samba: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/9.2/samba-3.0.1 Good luck, TJ On Mon, 2003-12-22 at 15:49, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2.
