I am not getting samba to successfully start at boot, it always fails (in red). Although I am able to get samba restart successfully though. The restart samba code was added in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code: [Select]

#samba restart
/etc/init.d/samba restartThe boot orders are:

That is weird, I do not think working internet should influence the start of samba, can you look into the log files?

cat /var/log/log.smbd
cat /var/log/samba/log.nmbd

and may be also

cat /var/log/syslog |grep smb

and you can see some error that would possibly lead you to the solution (and may confirm your "missing network theory")

My personal non-geeky guess would be that a stalled pid file after a restart prevents the daemon from starting, now the question is why? Btw, do you use specific locale?

[kolaloka]

Ok, there seem to be two issues,

- the main point is that your samba server is probably configured as non-master. This is the issue of unresolved netbios queries. If you are a local master or a domain master, network connectivity should not matter. You will probably have those values set this way:
local master = no
domain master = no
Try to set ONE of those values as YES in your /etc/samba/smb.conf , and try it again
(if you dont have them, set them in the global section)

- then, according to the log, there is a mistake in your smb.conf file, you have one value definition in a wrong section, If you post /etc/samba/smb.conf I can help you fix that, but that is an additional issue, probably not essential to our problem.

I wonder if that helps...

[bigpaws]

From your video, SAmaba started successfully and then it stopped
before getting to run level 4.

Check to see that samba is started at run level 4. iirc it is
in vasm in services section.

Bigpaws

[kolaloka]

Hi Bigpaws,  the strange thing is when you look at Ted's listing of scripts in his post, there is :

Code: [Select]

ted:$ ls /etc/rc.d/rc4.d
K40cron@            K6transmission-daemon@  S51sshd@
K45samba@           K76firewall@            S70cron@
K48sshd@            K8gpm@                  S85samba@
Which means samba is set for starting in init 4.
Or does Vasm store config in a different way?
kolaloka

[kolaloka]

Ted, I have one more idea. Can you verify that samba is really not running when you boot? I watched the video two more times, and thought about what Bigpaws has written. This seems, like samba first fails, but then it starts.

So my question is, can you check in the following way just after boot?

Code: [Select]

$ ps ax |grep smb

[ted_chou12]

Thanks for everyone's reply. Yes, I do have samba first failed to start (initiated by /etc/init.d/samba as rc4.d run level. But since it always fail to start, so I manually added samba restart to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to restart it. Yes, i understand kolaloka mentioned that since samba failed to start at the first place, why would it then be samba to successfully stop?
Here is the smb.conf (local master uncommented and set to yes):

Code: [Select]

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba HOWTO Collection.
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

Hi, I've filmed after I changed the local master and added ps aux to rc.local. But still fails.

Just posted, not sure if the video will be up soon.
Thanks,

Samba did start successfully. It then stopped. It is right at the beginning
of the video just after the blur.

Your smb.conf has problems. Do you need samba?

Your config some questions:

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: LINUX2

Did you write the above?

Why is the guest account mapped to ted?

You shared /mnt did you reset the permissions on those directories?

You shared your /home/directory. Anyone who joins your network will be
able to browse, read, write and delete anything in your home.

Your printers are directed to be used as root. That should not be done either.

None of these problems above will stop samba from running. There is a command
that is being executed after iirc rc.M (usually where samba is started) that is
stopping the service.

I was not able to view your last video, permission denied from you tube.

I am not sure where it is causing the problems,
Thansk,
Ted

[bigpaws]

There maybe several causes.

First it does start and then it stops.
Internet connection has nothing to do with it.

The questions that I asked may have something to do with it.

More than likely it is being started and stopped and not restarted
at the proper time.

Please respond with answers to the questions. Your post on
Linux Questions probably will not help you. Since the start
up parameters are not the same as Slackware.
