Samba 2.2.0 problem -- smbd won't start
I bit the bullet and upgraded my Alpha to SID last week. Generally,
everything works as expeced except Samba. Apparently nmbd gets started
OK, as it shows up on my running processes list and the other machines
on my network can "see" the Alpha. The smbd is another story. I cannot
"login" to any accounts on the machine and I don't see any running
processes for smbd.
The only clues that I can find are in the /var/log/samba/log.smbd file.
Apparently something is trying to setgid of something else and is
failing. Samba panics and doesn't start smbd. I am attaching an exerpt
from that file to this message, along with some included notes of what
little I have tried to remedy this "problem". The main attempt was to
re-install Samba.
Can any kind soul tell me what is going on and perhaps point me towards
a fix? I am NOT a coder, but I am willing to try. Samba 2.0.7 was
working fine on this machine before the upgrade.
Cheers & TIA,
