[Samba] Is Samba running?

[rmgsantos at sapo.pt]

I think I'm running samba 3 because I installed it with Fedora 3 setup.

Smbstatus  gives me the following:

Sessionid.tdb not initialized
/var/cach/samba/connection.tdb not initialized
...
...
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database

ps -wuax | grep -E "smb|nmb" gives me the following:

Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? see.....

My 'smb.conf' goes like this:

global]
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	netbios name = HOBBIT
	security = share

[data]
	comment = Data
	path = /export
	read only = Yes
	guest ok = Yes


thaks

What version of samba are you running?
How did you install it? configure or rpm?

What errors are you getting when you try to map a drive?

You'll have to supply some more information

first, run those two commands from the shell, on your Fedora box.  and tell
us 
what they output.  Do you know that samba is started?  the command `ps -wuax
| 
grep -E "smb|nmb"` should return two differnt processes - smbd and nmbd.
Also 
the command `smbstatus` will give you info about samba shares.

are you seeing anything in your log files on Fedora from the xp box, which
would 
be log.machinename or log.ip.address and are most likely stored in /var/log
or 
/var/log/samba.  If so what do they say?
