Samba service displayed as stop! but is running.

[flemse]

Hi

Just made a new Freetz svn 1999, all i running, but samba is displayed as stopped on the "Freetz - Services" pages. why?

The command ps:
730 root 3116 S N smbd -D -s /mod/etc/smb.conf

same for me on one you my two 7270.

on the other one it works well. (both have exactly the same smb.conf)

in /var/run is a smbd.pid with the right id nevertheless.

maybe a complete reset (configs etc. too) might help, but since it's no severe error, i can live with it.

Samba in svn is dead. Taka a look here

compiling samba works with:

cd source/samba-3.0.24/source
make clean

then a make in freetz dir will compile samba successfully. and with this version i have no problems (samba web-interface works too) on one box and the mentioned problem above on another.

it would be good to know how the webinterface determines if a process is running or not. clicking on "start" says it's already running, so it seems to be only a problem with the webinterface on special configs

svn looks for .pid file which will not work http://trac.freetz.org/browser/trunk/make/samba/files/root/etc/init.d/rc.samba
MySamba uses "pidof"

Thanks.

Then it must be a error in the init.d script. I know i have not installed "nmbd" because i deselected it when making my "make menuconfig".

Thanks for the info.
