Hi!
I installed Samba on Fedora core 5, made a smb.conf file for testing.
When I try to start samba:

[root@kobus ko]# service smb start
Syntax OK
Starting SMB services: [FAILED]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
[root@kobus ko]#

smbd could not start!

From the /var/log/samba/smb.log:

[2006/11/13 09:00:03, 0] smbd/server.c:main(847)
smbd version 3.0.23c-1.fc5 started.

smbd: symbol lookup error: smbd: undefined symbol: cupsLangDefault

did I do something wrong, or is this a bug??

Any help would be appreciated!!

are you trying to define cupsLangDefault in smb.conf?

Thanks for your reaction!
No, I didn't define anything about cups in the .conf file.

Someone else gave me this tip:

So I'll gonna try that out.

Have you run the ntsysv command, if not do that
and check whether smb is on or not, if not
then on it and run service smb restart again.
I hope it will solve ur problem

I compiled Samba from source; now both smbd and nmbd work!
