Description of problem:
Hello,

Under FC4-Test3, the script smb fails to start smbd (there is no problem with nmbd).

the error is : /etc/init.d/functions: line 83: 29607 Abort          $nice $*

If i try to start /usr/sbin/smbd -D manually, it works.

If i try to start "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" into another script than /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb, it fails (just a message that it is aborted).

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service smb start fails only on the startup of smbd
2. under the shell, /usr/sbin/smbd -D works

WORKSFORME on my rawhide box, and I haven't changed anything in that area of 
the code in a long time.  Can you attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf to this bug 
so I can try to reproduce it? 
 
What does "strace -f -o <some log file> /sbin/service smb start" put in that 
log file.  It's going to be large, and the interesting part is probably at the 
end.

Hi Jey,

I found a solution. As i had the same problem to start dovecot, i searched 
thought that the problem was not involving samba.

Selinux was activated with "enforcing" policy. Desactivating selinux solved 
the problem.

I'm still interested to have a solution with selinux activated.

Best regards.
