[Samba] lp_servicenumber: couldn't find printers

[Leo C. Holmberg (330) 672-1577]

Hi:

I first installed samba (Version 2.0.7)  on an AIX 4.3 system about 3 years ago.

Yesterday the original system crashed, and I am now trying to get it going on
another AIX system. To the best of my knowledege smb.conf, along with all the
samba binaries have not changed, i.e. they are from the backup of the crashed
system.

On the new system, when the smbd and nmbd daemons are started, they die 
immedidately. I ran them with the following command....

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D -d 10 -l /var/smbd.log -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf

and when I look in the log file the last entries I see are...


[2002/11/27 11:16:02, 3] param/params.c:pm_process(552)
  params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf"
[2002/11/27 11:16:02, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805)
  pm_process() returned Yes
[2002/11/27 11:16:02, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594)
  adding IPC service
[2002/11/27 11:16:02, 7] param/loadparm.c:lp_servicenumber(2897)
  lp_servicenumber: couldn't find printers

I never had any printers defined in the smb.conf file, and don't have any 
printers on the system. I've tried putting 'load printers = no' in the
global section with no affect. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong.
