[brlug-general] problems installing Samba on Fedora Core 5:where's smbd and nmbd?

[John Hebert]

Actually tried it both ways, multiple times. Same result: no smbd or nmbd.

"yum install samba" installs samba-common and samba-client.
"yum install samba-common" just installs samba-common.

Hey Karthik! How ya been?

John,
Did you do #yum install samba or #yum install samba-common  to install
samba?

Dustin,

Here are the results:

[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# service smb start
Syntax OK
Starting SMB services: /bin/bash: smbd: command not found
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting NMB services: /bin/bash: nmbd: command not found
                                                           [FAILED]
[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep smbd
[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep nmbd
[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# smbclient -L //localhost -N
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused)
Connection to localhost failed
[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]#


Like I mentioned, samba-common is installed, but the smbd and nmbd binaries
aren't there. ???

[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# yum list installed | grep samba
samba-client.x86_64                      3.0.23c-1.fc5          installed
samba-common.i386                        3.0.23c-1.fc5          installed

This is Fedora Core 5 on a 64bit box:

[root at houlnxfraud01 ~]# uname -a
Linux houlnxfraud01.uclc.com 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 #1 SMP Sat Oct 14 16:59:56
EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can't imagine that the released rpm has a bug on it, so I am suspecting my
server has a software config problem.

Thanks,
John Hebert

What happens when you do:

# service smb start
# netstat -nlpt | grep smbd
# netstat -nlpt | grep nmbd
# smbclient -L //localhost -N
