Samba - port already in use
 

Hi all, here's my config:
redhat 9, samba comes preinstalled.

nmdb is working, because I can see the linux computer on my workgroup, I just can't access it or the shares.

smb.conf:

[global]
log level = 2
workgroup = MILKYWAY
[test]
comment = For testing only, please
path = /mnt/tmp
read only = no
guest ok = yes

smbd log:

[2004/07/18 22:57:33, 0] smbd/server.c:main(707)
smbd version 2.2.7a started.

I found out that I can use: fuser -n tcp 139
and then use the number it gives me with: ps auxw | grep 3988
and that gives me the (seemingly) unhelpful:
root 4269 0.0 0.2 3576 616 pts/0 S 23:11 0:00 grep 3988

I'm lost and don't know where to go with this.
Any help would REALLY be appreciated.

check /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.conf for possible samba services

hi, dont know if this will make sense, but could it be a problem with your iptables if you are using a firewall?

I've disabled my firewall for this test.

I opened /etc/xinetd.conf, but nothing of any use was in there or services or servers in /etc/xinetd.d/.

netstat -pl should give you a list of open ports.

Ok thanks for that... it turned out to be vmware, which by default installs it's own samba for it's emulated windows OS.
So I reinstalled without that particular feature.

Thanks all who answered.
