I cannot, for the life of me, get nmbd to run at boot on Ubuntu Server 10.10. On all other variations I've run, it's just automatically running. How does one go about this?
View 2 RepliesI have an Ubuntu 9.10 server and I recently noticed that when it starts up I see the following displayed
* Starting init crypto disks..
* Could not access PID file for nmbd
I don't know where the message "Could not access PID file for nmbd" it doesn't appear to be coming from samba because samba is starting later in the startup. I've had no issues with samba and I can restart samba with no issues. Is this something to be concerned about? I noticed it started after I upgraded my samba server.
I am having this problem, that says in the boot up ~Could not access PID file for nmbd~/ I have been told to delete splash file. But i don`t know how to do so.

I am running a recently built Debian 'Lenny' system 5.0.4.I used the gui install and asked for desktop/file server/ I created a raid 1 systemsing two similar drives.Finally I set up some samba shares to use from my (wife's) windows PC. I wanted to use PC names rather than IP adresses to access the shares so activated wins.My Debian system, called arcturus, did not appear in windows network places. After much trial and error and googling found that the nmbd service had stopped.'/etc/init.d/samba restart' reported nmbd not present, stopped smbd and then restarted both. My networking then all came to life.There is a Ubuntu forum discussion around this subject and the consensus seems that the samba daemons are starting before the network is properly established. I have installed a work-around by putting the restart line in /etc/rc.local.But I'm concerned that I have some kind of configuration error.The following is a section of my log.nmbd after setting logging to level 3:-
Initialising global parameters

I'm running a fedora 14 file server with samba for a windows network. When I reboot my file server my samba share is no longer available. After a long search I found that if i run nmbd as root, the share is accessible again. I guess I can run nmbd everytime I reboot but I think something is wrong with my setup and it's one of those things that if I just ignore it will come back and bite me from behind
View 6 Replies View RelatedI heard that you can create a server from Ubuntu 10.10, even if it's not server edition. does anyone have a good guide to doing it in standard ubuntu? all i can find is on server edition where there's no GUI. or is terminal the only way? (im just setting up a basic home server for sharing pics and text docs, so i don't have to worry about security just yet. ill get to that some time later)

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter running Bastille to harden my server, Samba stopped working. It had asked me if I would like to disable Samba during the configuration and I selected 'no' so it should not have done this.
When I tried:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
Nothing happened. I found in the script, if it does not detect smbd and nmbd running, it just exits -- no error message, just simply does nothing.
I found that /usr/sbin/smbd and /usr/sbin/nmbd both had all permissions removed. I set them back to 755 and restarted samba normally.
I'm trying to figure out how to launch rc.local before services like autofs is being executed during system bootup. The reason I wanted this is because I needed for my server to pickup a DHCP address from my college's DHCP servers in order to get an IP address. Unfortunately, I couldn't get an IP address any other way and the update-rc script is really confusing to use.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI It does not start when the system boots. The smbd daemon is present and there are no suspicious messages in the system log, dmesg or the samba logs. The nmb service *is* enabled at all of the relevant run levels and does start if I issue the command "service nmb start" as root after I log in. This particular box's networking is 802.11n via a usb port and is under the control of the network manager. I have another fedora 12 box with an internal intel 5100 802.11n card and it does not have this problem.

Also Do other computers that want access to server also need samba installed (or just client)?
The server is 10.04 and my proposed client is 10.10, does this create problems?
Do I need to use ACL? I see them only in certain places.

I'm using vsftpd as my FTP server. I have set it up so I can access my home directory via FTP, requiring my login.

I currently have an Airport Extreme connected directly to my cable modem but have been wondering if I should actually connect direct to my proxy server first. The reason I am asking is because I run multiple web servers for web hosting and I have a proxy server setup that directs traffic to the appropriate computer based on domain names.
I have my router connected to my cable modem, and then all of my computers are connected thru the router. To me it would make more sense to have my proxy server be the first to connect and then thru a second ethernet card connect to the router. I also have a 5 port switch on order as well. So basically I'm asking for opinions now, in preparation for making some adjustments to my network and servers.
After securing webmin on my web server, with a custom SSL connection.I wanted to do the same with phpMyAdmin. But I am unsure of where to look for the best tutorial(s) to do this, can anyone help?Plus I saw once at work our network tech adding in accounts but then allocating that to the login itself.For example, when your brought up with a .htaccess prompt in the browser, thats assigned to you login within phpMyAdmin, taken from the db server no doubt, is it possible to do this?Should there be anything else I need to know in securing mysql?I have limited all services to a set number of IPs so non of its publically functional at the moment so I can take as long as possible, but naturally I'd like to be able to be as speedy as possible about getting this sorted.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have my pc setup with 2 hard disks, my main HD is running Win XP and the second HD is loaded with 9.1, the disk I loaded 9.1 on is a 40 gig HD, I wanted to try out 9.1 as a clean install before mucking around with dual boot. I really like 9.1 and now I want to change the way I am setup so I can run a dual boot. Right now the way it is I go through GRUB to choose either linux or win, it defaults to Linux, I removed the disk the 40 gig drive the other day and when I do I can't boot up, I get an error message telling me something like Grub not found (Duh right I took the HD out) I want to reset my comp so the 40 gig drive is visible to win and do the dual boot with 9.1 inside of windows.
My questions are this.
1. How would change the current boot config. so that windows loads and I don't have to use GRUB to choose my O/S.
2. How would I go about removing 9.1 from the 40 gig drive and leaving it blank so I can utilize it for windows.
my main concern here is getting the pc set back up so I can boot into windows without using the GRUB menu, I'm on my work pc and getting some greif from my boss on this. I'm worried that if I just remove 9.1 from the 40 gig drive that I won't be able to load windows, like when I physically removed the HD from the pc.
i am trying to make a windows XP boot flash drive for one of my copmputers. i delete all the partitions on my flash drive and run "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/sdb" and ubuntu can read it and its got all the contents of the CD but windows machines say i need to format it and no computer can boot off of it. did i do something wrong?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 10.10 64-bit on a Fujitsu T900. the hard drive has windows seven as well (64-bit). The win7 is the orginal from the manufacture. the boot log originally had (in this order): Win7, Windows Vista (about 100 MB not sure why but can't remove), recovery partition. I put ubuntu on after those three. Some times when the computer goes into suspend mode from ubuntu it will not wake up after wards. the only option it to power i down manually. when it comes back up there is now a second reference to ubuntu in the boot log. this has happened several times. there are now four valid references to ubuntu in the boot loader. I need to remove three of them, but i'm concerned that removing them will compromise ubuntu. Also I'm not sure where the boo log in windows seven is.

View 3 Replies View Related/etc is where your gnu/linux stores it's configuration. Its function is similar to the Windoze registry. As you install, uninstall, and work with various programs, /etc changes. Sometimes, things change that make your system act unexpectedly.
1) open a console
2) su enter root password
3) # mkdir /var/backup
4) # vim /usr/sbin/prep4change replace "vim" with text editor of your choice
5) cut and paste the following short script
[code]....
Next time you are about to install, remove, or change something, just issue prep4change as root. If the unthinkable ( but expected ) should happen, and things stop working correctly, you have your /etc and /boot already backed up. Your backup will be located in /var/backup You can also $ tail /var/backup/notes to see why you made what backup Again, this isn't the most elegant, but it's simple, and it works!
I have purchased a 500Gb seagate external hard disk.I partitioned it using the xp disk manager. I have now 320gb primary NTFS partition for accessing & storing data through XP & kept 144Gb of unallocated space for installation of Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.0. I have the dvd of RHEL 6.0, now please guide me through the process. I know I have to boot from my dvd drive. But i don't know how to manually allocate & partition the swap, and how much to mount under '/' & under'/boot'.. And also how to set it up for the dual boot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
