samba working, then installed openSSL and not samba not working
Hey.
Last night I had samba working perfectly on my two linux machines - One server (with all the samba shares) and my desktop (which had access to my server samba shares). Both run Gentoo. At this point everything worked perfectly. I have a very basic (just shares, not printing) smb.conf file. Later on that night, I installed openSSL (because I thought I needed it for a program but maybe I shouldn't have installed it so hastily). Anyway, I did the usual "emerge openssl" and everything seemed fine. Then I tried to start samba on my server: #/etc/init.d/samba start and was returned the following * starting samba [!!] and samba didn't start. Therefore, I unmerged openssl: #emerge -C openssl in the hope that samba might work, but I got exactly the same response. I have yet to reboot the server (maybe that will fix it) because I don't want too loose uptime :) Therefore, I'm asking if anyone knows that I need to do to get this working again? I'm assuming that it was openssl which caused this problem. The only other thing i installed last night (to the best of my recollection) was teepeedee (a micro webserver - this is what I thought I needed openSSL for). However, I think that samba was still working fine after i installed teepeedee and before i installed openssl. Could someone please shed some light ont his for me? I see in smb.conf there is a bit about ssl, but i haven't enabled that. thanks Hamish |
Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
#GENERAL [global] workgroup = HAMISHNET netbios name = PI server string = Samba Server on PI hosts allow = 172.24.15.228 172.24.15.231 127.0.0.1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 0 #PASSWORDS security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* #OTHER socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no #SHARES [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 Hope this can help someone help me!

Ok, here is some more information:
finally, something has appearing in my /var/log/samba/log.smbd file: " [2004/05/17 18:29:32, 0] smbd/server.c:main(835) standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option " I'm googling around, but if anyone has had this before, do tell me. Hamish |
FIXED!!
I guess that when I unmerged the openssl, it took some things with it. I simply reinstalled samba, and it is all working. Plus, I saved my uptime :) Hamish |
