AW: [Samba] Unable to open configuration file "/etc/smb.conf"

[Uli Luckas]

Try these two:
bash> which testparam
should tell you which testparam is being started. Is it where you expect it
to be?
bash> strace /full/path/testparam
Gives you information on all system calls called from within testparam. It
will give quite a bit of output and somewhere near the end you will find
something like:
open("/usr/lib/smb.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = ...

This would give you a hint to what testparam is trying to open and why it
fails.
Of course you need strace to be installed and you need to be root.
