'Upgrading to 3.0.0.

[Don McCall]

Hi Stephen,
Every 'share' has to have a path associated with it; IPC$, a built in share, it's path is to whatever the environment variable TMPDIR is set to.  If TMPDIR env variable is NOT set, then it defaults to /tmp.  Whatever directory this is, needs to be accessible to world.
typically the system /tmp dir is rwxrwxrwx, so this would be appropriate.  So either change your TMPDIR env variable (and yes, nmbd and smbd DO have to run as root), or make /root/tmp world accessible.
 
Hope this helps,
Don

All,
After upgrading to Samba 3.0.0 I have been able to get the smbd daemon
to run. It just fails with no error (either to the shell or a log file.). So
next I tired running the daemon interactively and with a debug level 2 to
try and get some more information.

Heres what I'm getting :-

Needless to say I've done a google / deja search and haven't found anything
that could help me.

Can anyone help me with this error "'/root/tmp' does not exist or is not a
directory, when connecting to [IPC$]" ?
A directory /root/tmp does exists, but what is it trying to do? Also, I
really don't think I should be running this service as root! But if I try
running the daemon as another other user, it fails because its unable to
capture the lock file.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

cheers

P.S. I'm sorry if any one has seen this post twice. I posted it to the
newsgroup mailing.unix.samba-technical but it never appeared on the server.
I'm not familiar with this mailing list business!!
