Samba error: Permission denied
I upgraded from Linux 9 to Linux Enterprise Server 4.0 after my network connections had been damaged from a bad shutdown. After upgrading I installed and configured Samba. Everything was working fine until I installed Tapeware backup. Now whenever I try to start Samba, I get the following error.
Failed to start Samba servers : /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start failed
Permission denied.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to LQ.
Are you running the command as root?

Thanks for the greeting. Yes, I'm running as root which is kind of strange.

Can you post the output from:
ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb

You will need to make it execuable:
chmod 744 /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
