samba (smbd) is not installed or not in your path

I can’t get samba to work. In the tool gadmin-samba I get the error mentioned in the subject of this thread. Samba is installed and smbd is located in /usr/sbin/smbd. I do not have a clue why I can’t make it run. In yast Systemservices (runlevel) I can start nmb and smb but when I activate smbfs it gives an error:

/etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured)

Also in yast I have selected samba-server and selected startup during boot and opened a port in firewall. This doesn’t help though. Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks

please tell me what you wish to use smbfs for. And also which version of Suse are you using? (smbfs was replaced after Suse 10.1 I think).

Are you just trying to set up a Samba server and share a directory out to the network?

I just want to be able to pull in shares from windows pc to my opensuse machine and vice versa. Don’t know if smbfs is necessary, I thought that was the cause of smbd not running… And if I try to start smbd it through swat (localhost:901) it just won’t start. The only deamon starting is winbind…

I’m using opensuse 11.0 64 bit gnome

OK. Smbfs was the driver for mounting network shares on other computers as mapped drives in Suse. Now it’s cifs and neither relates to running the underlying Samab networking.

To get Samba going goto Yast –> System –> system services (runlevels) –> expert mode. Set nmb and smb both to runlevels 3 and 5 and if necessary use start/stop/refresh button to flip them to Running=Yes

Next inspect the samba configuration file smb.conf by running this in a console:
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

You need these three lines in there for good browsing of the network in Nautilus:

  • workgroup = MSHOME
    (or instead of MSHOME – whatever is the name of workgroup in the windows boxes exactly same on all)
  • netbios name = name_of_yr_choice
    (You can use the same name as you see in the command prompt in Gnome Terminal, or anything sensible you like)
  • name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins

These can all be set with a text editor started like this from a console:

gnomesu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

or you can set them the hard way in Yast –> network services. Whatever you do stay clear of Windows Domain Membership. Set them in Samba Server under Identity:

  • Workgroup name
  • NOT
    A DC - NetBIOS hostname
  • Retrieve wins is BLANK
  • Advance settings –> expert global for “name resolve order …”

You’ve already set the firewall and the start at boot so leave those for now. Reboot openSUSE then reboot rhe windows machine then reboot Suse the reboot the windows machine, then cup of tea then browse the network.

It may be necessary temporarily to turn off the firewall – if it is, more to check
It may also be necessary to install a boost to browsing called “local master browser” but we’ll see

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately all the suggestions you make were already done. Except name resolve order where the order was different. Here is something strange going on though. In systemservices runlevel, when smb always shows up with yes*. The ‘’ meaning it should be running but is not. When I click activate it tells me it started succesfully and the '’ is gone. Then I click finish. I immediately open systemservices runlevel again and what is showing up next to smb: right yes* again… Very strange. And thus smbd is still not running…

Well that’s a problem. Open runlevels editor again and switch to expert mode and set levels 3 and 5 and toggle to ON and click Finish. Then check again. Did it fix?

Nope problem is the same, can turn it on and finish. But when I reopen runlevel editor it is off again. Noticed another thing: in runlevel expert mode I can select start/stop/refresh for a service. When I click start smb turns on correctly (but then again it is gone when I click finish). When I click refresh I get following message (translated to english manually so could be slightly different):

/etc/init.d/smb status returned 1 (program is dead and the file /var/run pid is present):

When I do the refresh right after the start, the message is the same and smb is immediately turned off again…

Is there anything being recorded in the logs that reside in var/log/samba.
particularly log.smbd? What do you see if you use the command: ps -C smbd
in a console?

I don’t see anything useful in the logs:s

Hmm… puzzled.

Maybe you should check the software is all installed. I don’t really know what’s required in full, but I do have these rpms installed:
libsmbclient0, samba, samba-client, yast2-samba-client, yast2-samba-server
But you already have the last two and if you didn’t have the other three then nothing would work, but check anyway.

BTW, check that the file /usr/bin/smbd exists, because the error message says that it doesn’t exist.

It looks like smb is indeed dying, but it also says that there may be
something wrong with the interfaces parameter in your smb.conf, or for some
reason it is not finding your network card. Open a terminal, su to root,
and issue the command:
ifconfig
This should give you the names of your network card(s)and their
configuration. If these are not configured, you need to take care of that
first.
If your network cards are configured, have IP’s and masks etc., and Samba is
still not working. Then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf as root and add the
parameter:
interfaces = [name] [name] lo.
i.e interfaces = eth0 lo
or interfaces =wlan0 lo
Go to a terminal window, su to root and issue the commands:
rcnmb start
rcsmb start
Now check your logs again and see if the errors go away. If adding the
interfaces line does not help then remove it. You probably need to post
your smb.conf and also checkout Swerdna’s page:
(http://www.swerdna.net.au/linux.html)
it is very good.


P. V.

While you’re doing that stuff recommended by PV, and while you’re checking the rpms and that /usr/bin/smbd exists, can you also return the dialogue from these console commands:

  • sudo /sbin/ifconfig
  • sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig
  • sudo /sbin/lspci | grep thernet
  • cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

This interface thing that PV got on to looks interesting.

I changed the interface line, it was showing some default uncorrect value. It still doesn’t work though. Here are the new errors for log.nmbd and samba.log:

I replaced 192.168.0 with 192.168.1 since my (static) ip is 192.168.1.

As for the error Unable to locate guest account [smbguest] (see above) I don’t know what a samba account is for. I always used samba without an account. In fact I don’t need all those fancy security options, just want to get it working as fast and simple as possible, no passwords etc.

Oh and smbd is not in /usr/bin/ but in /usr/sbin/. I have added a symbolic link just to be sure.

Thanks for the help.

This is way to complicated for simple file sharing. In another thread,
Swerdna suggested the following(with a few modifications for your system):

[global]
workgroup = THUIS
netbios name = Suskewiet

I do not think you will need the following, but if you see complaints

about interfaces in your logs, uncomment the line

interfaces = eth0 lo

name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
server string = Samba file and print server
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
use client driver = yes
map to guest = Bad User
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
usershare allow guests = Yes
usershare max shares = 100
usershare owner only = False

Until everything is working, I would suggest you use this for your smb.conf.
Rename your current smb.conf, then cut and paste the above into an editor
and save as /etc/samba/smb.conf. Samba should default to the available
interfaces.

I do not believe you would ever have reason to use the last two of these.

If the other machines are 192.168.1./24 this is good, if they are on
192.168.0./24 browsing will not work. Everything should be on the same
subdomain.

Unless you have added smbguest as a user this can not work. The guest
account will default to nobody, which works just fine.

smbd was starting, you could see that from the logs. It just died, I assume
for lack of an interface.

Unless you are connecting to an AD server, or have interdomain trusts, there
is no need for windbind, you can turn that off. Once everything works you
can go back and add any of the parameters you think you might need to your
smb.conf. Do that one at a time until it breaks or works as you expect.
You will probably want to add some shares to this global section, but for
testing purpose use very simple shares.

If you have not already done this, add the samba document packages (use
YAST) then look at:

/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

for some simple examples of smb.conf’s.

You should also be able to find the actual book in your local library.
Terpstra, “Samba-3 by Example”,2nd Ed., Prentice Hall, 2006.

Oh and smbd is not in /usr/bin/ but in /usr/sbin/. I have added a symbolic link just to be sure.

I made a typo – it should be in sbin

OK the problem lay in the [global] of smb.conf.
EDIT: Go with PV on that

BTW where did you get that smb.conf? Did you create it? Does it have some special features that you deliberately want left in?

New post to accommodate the strangeness (for me) of NNTP:

I see that PV has this under control and has tweaked to the interesting [global] suggesting a new one too. I suggest you go with that.

Thanks I will try your samba.conf and see how it works. I never created any samba.conf manually. It is a default. A crappy default if you ask me, even my interface was wrong. Hope it will work with the new samba.conf.

Smbd is finally up and running with the new samba.conf:)

That terrible smb.conf must have been installed somehow by Yast. Probably in the region called Samba Server. But it’s great that it’s fixed.

Yast often seems to take a perfectly good smb.conf and trash it. I have
used SWAT or more recently webmin for setting up a smb.conf. For just
tweaking a manual edit works just fine, particularly if you have your hands
on the machine.

Glad to see you have it all working now. Enjoy.
