Mayday!
I've installed a FreeBSD system from the 2.1.5 CD. (Why didn't I do this
years ago?).
I have installed SAMBA, which has been working very nicely. We then
needed to reconfigure my sustem (change IP address etc, etc etc). Now I
have smbclient working well, but when I start nmbd and smbd I cannot
browse the shares on the system, or indeed connect to them. I start the
daemons with the commands:
#
# Startup the SAMBA daemons
#
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf -l
/var/log/smbd.log -d 3
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D -I 194.6.125.67 -G Acucobol -n roadrunner
-l /var/log/nmbd -d 3
#
# End of Startup the SAMBA daemons
#
What actually happens is that the server "roadrunner" appears in the
browse list of the windows (client) machine, but if you click on it to
browse resources or try to connect to a share by typing its name then
there is a long pause and then the client reports "The network is busy".
I can't see any friendly "This is what went wrong, stupid" type messages
in the logs. I've checked through the docs, maybe I'm missing something?
If anyone can help with this I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks
Nigel
