[Samba] smbd doesn't start anymore

[Bruno MACADRÉ]

Hi,

     I've a really big problem with my SAMBA 4.1.11 production 
server.... it doesn't want to start smbd anymore.... nmbd starts fine 
but not smbd.

     I've tried to start smbd in interactive mode to see what's happened :

     # /srv/progs/samba4/sbin/smbd -i -d9

     produce a lot of lines about configuration (all fine), some last 
lines are :

added interface lo ip=::1 bcast= 
netmask=ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
added interface lo ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 netmask=255.0.0.0
added interface bond0 ip=10.130.162.20 bcast=10.130.162.255 
netmask=255.255.255.0

check lock order 1 for /srv/progs/samba4/var/lock/smbXsrv_version_global.tdb
release lock order 1 for 
/srv/progs/samba4/var/lock/smbXsrv_version_global.tdb

After this last line, it stop writing anything and wait 
indefinitely...... but there's no listenning socket opened so the daemon 
never listen and never be used....


Is there a way to get more informations about why my smbd doesn't work 
at all magically ?

Thanks
Regards,
Bruno
