smb/nmb daemons not running
i have smbd and nmbd enabled during boot, and i watch them supposedly start during the boot process but then i access them in swat and they're not running. when the computer shuts down it warns me that they're not running.
when in swat i hit start, restart, or start all, they still don't run. i initially thought this was a firewall issue but it occurs with the firewall off, too. they used to run fine and although i couldn't see my suse box in xp net neighborhood i could at least see my xp on the suse. now nothing's working and it seems arbitrary. what can i do to get these running? |
Can you just run nmbd and smbd manually? What output do you get?
|
What is the output of dmesg? If the daemons do in fact start during the boot process, it will be recorded there; it will also be recorded if they try to start and fail, or starts and then stops for some reason.
Does your network work otherwise? Can you ping the other computer? |

dont know if it makes a difference on suse since im running slack-based distro but try;

If you can't ping the other computer, I don't see how Samba is supposed to connect to it.
Well, eth0 is there, in any case: Quote:
Quote:
and I also wonder why there is no message actually bringing eth0 up (which would certainly explain why the network doesn't work). What is the output of ifconfig (as root)? |
Since I have the exact same problem I thought I'd join....the samba daemons just won't start, not manually or via swat. I can ping localhost, I can ping my pc's name (galahad), and I can ping every IP adress in the network, but I can't connect to the workgroup or my wife's Win2K box when I use "guinevere" instead of her ipadress.
I followed every step in O'Reilly's book so my smb.conf is extremely simple, but should work. When I tried smbclient -U% -L localhost and that's when things went wrong: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) Connection to localhost failed This is the output of ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:76:96:38:EA inet addr:192.168.123.103 Bcast:192.168.123.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:76ff:fe96:38ea/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4822 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5164 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3218445 (3.0 Mb) TX bytes:627197 (612.4 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3296 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3296 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:344549 (336.4 Kb) TX bytes:344549 (336.4 Kb) San |
Check the logs for errors. There should be a log for nmbd and smbd.

Celettu, you don't have quite the same problem, since you can ping, and skippuff54 can't, but your problem is easy to see.
127.0.0.1 is the loopback address to localhost (your own computer). The entire reason it exists is to give you a way to "connect" to your own computer on locally-run servers, like Webmin or Samba-Swat, without going through the network. So you might want to go into your /etc/hosts file and edit it so that in addition to localhost being listed at 127.0.0.1, it reads something like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost <ip.address.of.guinevere> guinevere <your.internal.ip.address> your_hostname And are you sure that you set the workgroup name in /etc/samba/smb.conf to the same name as the one Windows is using? Is the Linux user trying to connect added to the authorised and known users by the Win2K administrator? Is the Linux user added and enabled (by root) to and in smbpasswd? |

It's detected in Yast, and I can browse my wife's win2K box again. My own SuSe 9.1 doesn't show up in the Workgroup though.... > Is the Linux user trying to connect added to the authorised and known users by the Win2K administrator. Yes, and I can even log in giving the username and passwords of other users on the Windows machine. >Is the Linux user added and enabled (by root) to and in smbpasswd? No. I don't know how to do this :) San |
edit: ping of xp machine successful. don't know what i was doing wrong the first time.

I solved this with....hold on to your horses.... mkdir /var/run/samba Incroyable mais vrai. Things work now. San |
wow. :p
mkdir /var/run/samba did the trick. now, all machines can see each other. my firewall is still disabled however so i need to make sure everything works properly with the firewall up. thanks for the tip, celettu! |
now that i can see the xp box on the suse, i can't access it:
Unknown error condition in stat: Connection refused. stumped again. |
What does the Event Log on the XP box say? (Control Panel=>Administrative Tools=>Event log is there somewhere). What do the logs in /var/log/samba and /var/log/samba3 say?

Well, I'm not the network guru who runs the Win2K box on our network, but I asked him, and the most likely place this would be recorded would be the security log... but the security log is not enabled by default (the Admin has to turn it on specifically). But it is supposed to record stuff like failed logins and such (which this would count as, I suppose--we'll test it in a minute).
You turn it on in Administrative Tools=>Local Security Settings=>Select a policy and check the "Failure" box to log... failed logins. Hang on.... Yes, that works. I just tried to access the workgroup using an incorrect password, and two log entries appeared in the Security Log saying that... someone tried to log in to a specific account with the wrong password or username, and that there had been an authentication failure. So you might want to try that, and see if it helps you track down what's going on on the Windows end, if Samba seems to be working correctly. I don't know why you wouldn't have any logs for Samba; that seems odd, but offhand I don't know what to do about it. |
motub,
thanks so much for all your help. i tried what you said on the xp end, but quite frustratingly, i've found that smb and nmb are not running again. testparm returns no errors. i'm now completely confused about what's going on with this system. -smb and nmb are enabled to start during boot -on boot, smb and nmb apparently start without a problem -yast tells me that neither daemon is running -starting manually doesn't work -the network, which formerly worked, then didn't, then showed up but returned an unknown error, is back to not working -testparm returns no errors -i can connect to the internet without a problem |
You have 2 network cards in your PC (one connected to the modem, and one connected to the network) or only one (and you get Internet via routing from the XP box)?
'Cause I'm thinking that either 1) there's a problem with your NIC (the network NIC)-- but that won't be the case if you get Internet from the XP box; 2) there's a firewall on the network somewhere (can't begin to guess which box, but I'd vote for the XP box, especially if you did a Windows Update or installed a Service Pack) that is stopping/blocking the internal network connections. Stabbing wildly in the dark, this sounds like everything starts out working, and then is stopped... by the network going down? Which might cause both the Samba daemons to stop (sounds odd, but on the other hand, there's no use in them running if there's no network, and they do re-read their settings every minute or so)? Does SuSE install a firewall by default? Have you configured it, if so? Have you checked your physical network connections (are all the cables securely placed, etc)? Can you try another NIC (maybe the one you have is going wonky)? Have you checked the SuSE site to see if there's anything that might be a little bit broken with regards to network connections or their implementation of the Samba server daemons? This is pretty bizarre. |
The SuSe 9.1 firewall blocks samba by default, so I had to turn it off. I'll have to configure it, but I haven't figured out yet and I'm behind a router anyway so it's not that urgent. But with the firewall switched on, the network isn't found.
