Hello. I just recently upgraded to redhat 9 from 7 & everything went
smoothly except samba. Using the DIAGNOSIS.txt I get to step 3 (I
think) & execute the following command
nmblookup -B servername _SAMBA_
the return is thus
querying _SAMBA_ on 127.0.0.1
name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_
the text advises that nmbd is not installed correctly. Well I'm using
xinetd & I created a separate script /etc/samba/runsamba that I point
to from xinetd.conf. When I use netstat -a I see that the 139/tcp is
listening but 137/udp is not ( As a matter of fact, all of the udp
ports are "blank" under the status tab in the readout). I tried to use
the ps command to check the nmbd daemon but this turned out to be beyond
the scope of my capabilities. I am trying to connect to an XP Pro
(Service Pack 1) box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
