The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't get SMBD to run on Redhat 6.2

Asked by mfarace in Linux Networking

I am setting up SAMBA on a RedHat 6.2 Linux box for a friend (it is actually running under VMWARE).

I can not get the SMBD to stay running.  It starts, creates a PID file in /var/lock/samba, but then exits saying that a port is already in use.  I have added entries to /etc/inetd.conf already.  It also doesn't start automatically.

any clue?  This should be a fairly vanilla install.  I had originally setup the computer to run on DHCP, but have changed it to static.  I wanted to get this system to my buddy by Tuesday, but I can wait til Wednesday or so.

--------------------------------------------------------
Here is my inetd.conf settings:

# SAMBA NetBIOS services (for PC file and print sharing)
netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/smbd  smbd
netbios-ns      dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/nmbd  nmbd

--------------------------------------------------------
Here is the error I get with level 3 debugging on smbd:
