Description Josiah Royse 2003-04-10 15:22:40 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
Using a smb.conf file that has the wins support = yes, causes two nmbd processes
to start, and the "/sbin/service smb stop"  init scripts don't deal well two
nmbd's, you have to run "stop" twice to catch both.

Attached is a smb.conf that re-creates the error, but I believe it just needs
the wins flag = yes.  the smb.conf file attached passed the "testparm" command also.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use attached smb.conf
2. start smb process
3. stop smb process
4. check smb status
    

Actual Results:  all started.. then not all stopped

Expected Results:  all started.. all stopped

smb.conf

smb.conf with multiple shares, wins =yes

Comment 2 Jay Fenlason 2003-04-24 22:18:49 UTC
Try adding
pid directory = /var/run
to your /etc/samba/smb.conf file.  It seems to make "service smb stop" work
correctly here.  I'll try to make sure this makes it into the next erratum.

Comment 3 Josiah Royse 2003-04-26 02:19:08 UTC
Great that works!  It seems that the function "killproc" in the init functions
couldn't get to the directory /var/run/samba.

I've also found these areas to change:

samba.spec: compiled in    --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \
samba.spec: directory /var/run/samba created
/etc/init.d/smb: listed in the header comments.

Comment 4 Josiah Royse 2003-11-21 01:57:34 UTC
Really, this is fixed, but the bug exists in RedHat 9.0, which is EOL
soon..?

samba-3.0.0-15 spec file:

...snip...

* Thu Apr 24 2003 Jay Fenlason <fenlason> 2.2.8a-1
- upgrade to 2.2.8a
- remove old .md5 files
- add "pid directory = /var/run" to the smb.conf file.  Fixes #88495
- Patch from jra.org to fix a delete-on-close regression
