I'm a new linux user trying to run samba on Linuxppc R5 but smbd doesn't 
appear to be responding properly. Both nmbd and smbd are configured as 
daemons and netstat lists netbios-ssn as listening. I can't find anything 
else that would conflict starting from inetd. Nmbd appears to work as I can 
list the available servers and the server is seen by the clients but I don't 
need nmbd, just the ability to access smbd with an ip address. I've gone 
through the included diagnosis.txt file and I'm getting stuck at step 3 with 
an error message that the session request failed.

Here is the output of "smbclient -L files" with log level = 10:

doing parameter log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
doing parameter max log size = 50
doing parameter socket options = TCP_NODELAY
doing parameter printcap name = /etc/printcap

It appears that smb has the port open but isn't returning data. log.nmb 
looks normal with no error messages, but log.smb mainly consists of lines 
of:

[1999/08/30 20:18:49, 0] locking/shmem.c:smb_shm_open(930)
  ERROR smb_shm_open : mmap failed with code Invalid argument
and
[1999/08/30 20:19:00, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(169)
  ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes!


Any help would be appreciated!
