smbd problems

[olaf.c at topmail.de]

Hi!

I have problems starting smbd.

As i try to start samba with "smb start" only the nmbd is started. (I
checked this via ps)

Here's the log.smb - I don't understand it...

------------------
[2000/08/30 14:30:04, 1] smbd/server.c:main(643)
  smbd version 2.0.6 started.

[2000/08/30 14:30:04, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
  ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes
-------------------

The system is SuSE 6.4 with the original distribution's samba.rpm. The
computer works as a firewall and router with ISDN in a small LAN. I
thougt, that perhaps the ipchains causes the failure, but they don't. (I
changed all chains to accept everything...)
The files /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf should be right.
The smbd should be started as a daemon.

I have done the tests describes in DIAGNOSIS.txt, but - of course -
smbclient -L BIGSERVER failed.

The interesting thing is, that another computer in the LAN with the
same SuSE 6.4 has no problems with starting samba with the same
smb.conf. It's the untouched distribution's one. I attach it...

Does anybody have an idea?
