Description Giuliano Catrambone 2005-08-22 12:14:37 UTC 
I'm using Fedora CR4 and when I starts the smb service I get the following message:
"smb failed. The error was: Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED]

Shutting down NMB services: [FAILED]

Starting SMB services: [FAILED]

Starting NMB services: [  OK  ]
"

Therefore the /var/log/samba/log.smbd log file contains:
[2005/08/22 21:00:03, 0] smbd/server.c:main(802)
  smbd version 3.0.20 started.

Hi,
Since the log says that can not open the /etc/samba/secrets.tdb file,
I just moved it in /etc/samba/secrets.tdb.ori.
In that way, Samba give me an other message on the log:
[2005/08/26 09:07:12, 0] smbd/server.c:main(802)
  smbd version 3.0.20 started.

On the Service Configuration window, where I launched the run of the smb service
I get the message:
smbd dead but pid file exists
nmbd (pid 4458) is running...

Could you help me to solve that issue.
thanks
