is there an idiots guide to setting up samba on debian ?

Uf... samba is not idiot-proof :-)

I'm ending up with multiple services on samba and winbindd but smbd not
running.

Before going any further with the samba beast, are you sure you need to
set it up the server side? What are your goals?

Also which version of samba should I be using.

1377 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D
1378 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D
1379 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D
1380 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D
1386 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D
1388 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/samba -D

(...)

There are many running instances of samba, I only have 3, but this could
have changed since lenny.

this is from samba.log :-

Any ideas please ????

Your samba service is crashing because of the above errors, I'd say related
to the network interface you have set. Check your smb.conf variables:

interfaces =
bind interfaces only =

Greetings,


Thanks,
I've managed to get smbd up and running, the application needs to be a server and not just a client,
as one of the directories is used by another computer. Not my app ,my son's :(.
What I'm not seeing is any broadcast on x.x.x.255, the firewall should be open in both directions on the
samba ports.

Play again in the morning.
