Hello,
I've succefuly installed samba 2.2.2 on my Linux box. I can share between
Linux and MS boxes, but I want to start samba from xinetd.
In /etc/xinetd.d/ I have this:
#/etc/xinetd.d/netbios-ns
service netbios-ns
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
port = 137
user = root
wait = yes
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd
}
#/etc/xinetd.d/netbios-ssn
service netbios-ssn
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
port = 139
user = root
wait = no
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd
}
But it doesn't work, i.e., my samba server doesn't show up in Network
Neighborhood.
, *but* if I start samba with:
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
voila!
So, what's the trick to use xinetd?
BTW: I *know* xinetd is running, I'm using telnet, swat, vnc, etc. that way.
TIA,
Norberto
