[Samba] smbd, nmbd crashes

[murray zangen]

Hi,

I've been running Samba successfully for several years.

I tried running Samba on a new computer under Redhat 7.3 using a test
smb.conf where testparm shows no errors.  Running "smb start" runs
properly i.e. starts smbd and nmbd,  but  after a few seconds both
programs stop running  (running "ps aux| grep smbd" shows job running,
running "ps...." again shows that it stopped.  Running "smb status"
twice after staring smb confirms that they ran for a few seconds and
then stopped.

All necessary changes were made to /etc/services and  inetd.conf.

Any ideas?


Thanks
