The template smb.conf is out of date for 2.2.8 and is listing several
parameters that are no longer used.
This is causing visible diagnostics like:
WARNING: The "status"option is deprecated
Unknown parameter encountered: "read prediction"
Ignoring unknown parameter "read prediction"
And unless this release has found a way to implement a fork() function,
or has converted NMBD to threads, the parameter "dns proxy" should be
set to "no".
And related to that:
It turns out that the hack in past releases NMBD to change the fork()
call to return a constant of 0, it appears that might cause NMBD to
appear to hang.
To provide the functionality that SAMBA expects, either NMBD must be
converted to threading, or be launched by the TCPIP dispatcher like SMBD
is. It looks like converting to be launched by the TCPIP dispatcher is
simpler.
