I checked my dmesg -a and I came up with these errors concerning samba: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting SAMBA: removing stale tdbs : Starting nmbd. /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0" Starting smbd. /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0" ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib a.out ldconfig path: /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so I acted : avid# locate libintl.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 avid# cp /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 /usr/lib/libintl.so.6 avid# reboot and smb started normally... so I guess --read the errors--!! but, why didn't it find the "/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6" and had to be copied to "/usr/lib" ?? (I found a similar situation here --> http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2004-12/1060.html) Ken Stevenson wrote: The only thing you need in rc.conf is samba_enable="YES". If you do a dmesg -a, do you see any Samba related startup errors? If not, how about the log files in /var/log/samba? It sounds like Samba is failing at startup because it requires something that's not available yet (like DNS). After your machine is finished booting, it has the environment it requires. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. --spen-- --------------------------------- Yahoo!
