FW: [Samba] Error:The semaphore timeout period has expired

[BURRUEL, BENJAMIN D (SBCSI)]

UPDATE:

We found out that there was still an entry in /etc/rc.local to start up
the old SAMBA after upgrading and setting up to run from inetd.conf.
Once the /etc/rc.local entry was removed, we no longer receive the
"semaphore timeout period has expired" messages and we are able to
connect to the shares.
