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.

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.
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.
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@redhat.com> 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@dp.samba.org to fix a delete-on-close regression
