samba doesn't start properly on boot up

Hi, recently I upgraded samba from 3.67 to 4.00, I am not sure why it doesn't start as it usually does in the past. Here is the syslog on startup:

Code:

I believe this is the directory for initiation procedures, my rc3.d looks exactly the same anyways. The original order for samba for S was 52, I delayed it as far as possible:

Code:

ted:$ ls /etc/rc.d/rc4.d

K40cron@  K69portmap@            S30portmap@  S91gpm@

K45samba@  K6transmission-daemon@  S39cups@    S92samba@

K48sshd@  K76firewall@            S50inetd@    S93transmission-daemon@

K49inetd@  K8gpm@                  S51sshd@

K60cups@  S23firewall@            S70cron@

my samba script has stayed the same:

Samba would appear as if it was started, but when I access it from another machine, the shared directories arent available.
Thanks,
Ted

These declarations below are not allowed in the global section as indicated by the error message "Global parameter guest account found in service section!" It also it appears that cups is not starting.

force user = ted
force group = ted
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes

Does the output of ps indicate the smbd and nmbd daemons are running? Also the following command will show if samba is running as well as the viewable shares. Just press return when it asks for a password.
smbclient -L localhost

Thanks michaelk, I did realize that cups did not start before samba. As I added this code to my init.d/samba start script:

Code:

 timeout=20

                while ! /sbin/ifconfig | grep -q '192.168.' ; do

                      sleep 1

                      timeout=$(($timeout - 1))

                      if [ $timeout -lt 1 ] ; then

                            echon "timeout waiting for network"

                            exit

              fi

                done

And I saw that CUPS printers are not properly shared. But a restart of samba after boot manually did help to solve all the problems. (This probably means that samba started before cups at boot)I believe that adding samba restart to rc.local would probably solve the problem. But I hope to solve this directly as possible.

Code:



ted:$ smbclient -L localhost

Enter ted's password:

Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

server://etc/init.d

And this is right after booting, samba not restarted:
