Howdy All,

Surprise, surprise, I'm having problems.  I'm sure that it's just some
stupid little thing that I'm missing, but, as that says, I'm missing it!

First of all, the environment:

FreeBSD 4.4-Release
Samba 2.2.2
LAN addresses 10.0.0.x, with 10.0.0.1 being my gateway (LinkSys
router) to the great outdoors.  The BSD server (ALONZO) is on 10.0.0.2

And next, the problem:

When I try to test from my server via smbclient -L alonzo -N, I get
the message:
added interface ip=10.0.0.2 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to ALONZO failed (code 0)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (code 0)

If I try to do smbclient -L localhost, I get
added interface ip=10.0.0.2 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
timeout connecting to 127.0.0.1:139
Connection to localhost failed

My log.smbd file reads:
[2002/02/06 17:19:14, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(830)
[2002/02/06 17:19:14, 0] smbd/oplock.c:init_oplocks(1245)
  open_oplock_ipc: Failed to get local UDP socket for address 100007f. Error
was
 Can't assign requested address
#=====
Paraphrasing from my smb.conf (I took the example they included, and
modified it for my network)

[global]
hosts allow = 10.0.0. 127.
security = user
interfaces = 10.0.0.2
dns proxy = no

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   follow symlinks = no

[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space - may be deleted at any time!
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes

[common]
   comment = common files, excluding drivers and music files
   path = /usr/common

I have other shares defined as well.  Most everything else is
commented out.
#=====
I have tried using SWAT to configure the system, but SWAT doesn't
think the smbd and nmbd daemons are running.  (According to ps -aux,
they are pid #s 193 and 195 when started at boot.)
