After I updated my Samba to 3.5.14 on my FreeBSD box today, it stopped working. I couldn’t connect to the Samba server from my Windows clients. Initially, I thought it was the memory cache issues, and I thought the problem would be solved by rebooting both machines. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Therefore, I accessed to the server and check the cause of the problem.<\/p>\n
First, I found that Samba was not evening running.<\/p>\n
\r\nps -ax | grep smb\r\n<\/pre>\nSo I started the Samba service manually:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo \/usr\/local\/etc\/rc.d\/samba start\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd it returned me the following message:<\/p>\n
\r\nCannot 'start' samba. Set winbindd_enable to YES in \/etc\/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'.\r\n<\/pre>\nOh that was easy. All I need to do was to modify my rc.conf:<\/p>\n
\r\n#Samba service\r\nsamba_enable=\"YES\"\r\nwinbindd_enable=\"YES\"\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd then I started the Samba again:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo \/usr\/local\/etc\/rc.d\/samba start\r\n<\/pre>\nYay, Samba is up and running again!<\/p>\n
