Smbd service can not start

[yingtian jiao]

Hello Amitay

Thanks for your reply.

I used CTDB 2.5.1, and set the samba configuration as what you said, but
still not work.
And I started samba manully as "strace -f -o /tmp/smbd.trace /usr/sbin/smbd
-i -F", the smbd can be started.(only '/etc/init.d/sernet-samba-smbd start'
can not work).
I found the 'SElinux' current mode is 'enforcing', so I set it to
'permissive' then everything was OK.
