I've just discovered that in the last month or so one of my servers is behaving strangely. The Samba daemon starts up normally, but then the process disappears. When I run 'ps -aux | grep smb' the only process that shows up is grep. I've tried running it from the command line with the debug flag set, but the log doesn't show anything -- it shows the daemon starting, loading parameters, and then nothing. The .pid file remains in /var/run, but there's no process active. I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.5: [root@kepler:~]# uname -a FreeBSD kepler.implab.ac.th 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Wed Feb 27 08:29:05 ICT 2002 root@kepler.implab.ac.th:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KEPLER i386 and [root@kepler:~]# /usr/local/sbin/smbd -V Version 2.0.7 I can't tell exactly when this behavior started, but it's only been a month or six weeks. Natd is working fine, so all the Win98 boxes connected to this server can connect to the Internet (the most important function), but they can't see the server as a Windoze resource, so I can't install from it. I obviously must have changed something, because it used to work fine, but I can't remember what changed in that time period except for upgrading Mozilla. Can anyone suggest what I might try to find out what is causing the process to disappear? I'm reluctant to upgrade Samba. -- Roger You're only young once, but you can be immature forever!
