Description David Lawrence 2001-10-30 22:47:29 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When starting nmbd it exits and generates the following errors in
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd.

s390's interface is called ctc0 instead of eth0 like Intel. Could that be
causing issues?
Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-06 16:04:48 UTC 
I'm recompiling samba for s/390 now, in an attempt to fix it.
Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-07 17:08:01 UTC 
The source doesn't refer to "eth" anyway, I'm pretty certain that's not it.
Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-07 20:49:53 UTC 
Not a bug in samba - all network interfaces on the S/390 were configured as
point-to-point. Nmbd needs broadcast nics, and exits otherwise - which makes sense
Comment 4 Than Ngo 2001-11-07 21:45:48 UTC 
as i have told to you before it's not a bug in samba. It's a bug initscripts.
Now i have finally fixed it. Please update initscripts-6.40-2, it should fix
this problem.
