Problem starting Samba

[lorel]

I need to set up Samba in my SCO 5.0.7. It is already downloaded and installed using Custom. I did not received any error during installation.

I need to start the 2 deamos associated with Samba: smdb nmbd

The command I am using to start the deamos are:

smdb -D
nmbd -D

I do not get any error messages, and the system appears to have started them, but if I do a ps -ef | grep smbd, they are not shown as running. What could be the cause?

Thanks

Joe

which version of samba? where is the config file (smb.conf)?


normally it would be started with:
/etc/init.d/samba {start|stop|restart|enable|disable}
or /etc/init.d/smb {start|stop|restart|enable|disable}

either one of these calls the bin file:
$SAMBADIR/sbin/smbd -D -s /etc/samba.d/smb.conf
