I don't think anyone meant to insult the developers here, far from it! we all respect the expertise you offer! Sometimes frustration causes the best of us to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. However, I added to the bug because there are at least two other users here with an identifiable error; that being their samba log reports. I have exactly the same error;
smbd/server.c:456(smbd_open_one_socket) smbd_open_once_socket: open_socket_in: Address already in use I have used samba for some time and spent quite some time trying to solve the problem - as mentioned previously, I've testparmed the conf file with no errors. made a new conf file. pinged every computer (successfully) re-installed samba cleared iptables on all machines smbclient -L shows the shares served by the server (on the server) using findsmb from clients show nothing shared. -- Karmic-Networking (SAMBA) just does not work, even with detailed attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
