I have installed samba 2.0.7 on 2 totally seperate machines. On one machine it works file but on the other I get the above message in log.smb whenever i start the smbd daemon, The smbd daemon then dies.

hi

usually samba daemon smbd/nmbd picks up the first interface on the system.
so you can check to see that the interface is configured properly. If it is (which i guess will be), try using the option

interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
bind interfaces only = yes

and also try raising the log level to 3 to see what the daemons are complaing about

bhupi70,

I am having same problem as keenanbr. This is my
very first install ever and I am following a book
but there is no assistance with potential problems
such as this.

I am guessing that based on your suggestions, these
entries belong in smb.conf under [global] !!! ???

Questions:
a) How does one check if interface is properly configured?
If you are referring to TCP/IP and LAN connection and
such, I am OK in that area ...

b) Is your sample a range of IP addresses?
My localhost IP is 192.168.1.5 and I use WIN2K and
WIN98 with IPs below and above my host. What would I
need to enter as value for interfaces?

c) As per the book, I tried smbclient -U% -L localhost
and I get:
--
added interface ip=192.168.1.5 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

What does this mean? I checked /usr/local/samba/var
log.nmbd and it appears to be OK. Hoever, log.smbd
has

over and over again ... It appears to add a line every
while and at this rate, I am afraid this file is going
to grow out of control.

What can you suggest I do?

Thanks;

The port 139 is already in use. You have to suppress the Netbios protocol inorder to make samba happy.
