From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service smb start fails only on the startup of smbd 2. under the shell, /usr/sbin/smbd -D works Additional info:
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.
