nmb (samba naming) not working

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi

I noticed a couple of days ago that my Tumbleweed machine was not reachable on a mapped drive in a windows 8 machine.

So I checked in Yast → services, and nmb is enabled + inactive

So systemctl says this:

Tumbleweed132:/home/john # systemctl status nmb.service
nmb.service - Samba NMB Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nmb.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2015-03-24 09:00:45 AEST; 16s ago
  Process: 3610 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nmbd $NMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 3610 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

and journalctl says this (and I don’t understand it but it seems to say nothing about nmbd).

Tumbleweed132:/home/john # journalctl -xn

Any Thoughts?

Those are log entries from SuSEfirewall2.

Any Thoughts?

Try to disable AppArmor, or put it into “complain” mode:

Thanks, that fixed it

For others, if you use AppArmor: enter su and run this: aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.nmbd

Tumbleweed132:/home/john # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.nmbd
Setting /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.nmbd to complain mode.

Then you can start the service

Tumbleweed132:/home/john # systemctl start nmb.service

and if you like to check it

Tumbleweed132:/home/john # systemctl status nmb.service
