smbd and nmbd normally require the `-D' flag to run as a daemon. Without it they expect stdin/stdout to be a socket. > here is my configuration: > samba-des 1.9.16p11 Debian non-US distribution > > /etc/services: > netbios-ns 137/tcp > netbios-ns 137/udp > netbios-dgm 138/tcp > netbios-dgm 138/udp > netbios-ssn 139/tcp > netbios-ssn 139/udp Looks fine. > /etc/inetd.conf: > netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd > netbios-ns stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nmbd > > all paths are correct.. what am I doing wrong? I have: netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/sbin/nmbd nmbd I'm pretty sure that `netbios-ns' should be a UDP service. Do you get any errors in the system logs, or in log.smb/log.nmb? Does running `testparm' on your smb.conf complain? Does `netstat -a' indicate that inetd is listening on the socket? -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
