After upgrade for version 3.6.0 using packages of opensuse build service the init.d scripts does not work anymore. The error is in starproc sintax see below: HOST:~ # /etc/init.d/smb start Starting Samba SMB daemon startproc: Usage: startproc [-f] [+/-<prio>] [-s] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-v] [-l log_file|-q] /full/path/to/program done although it shows that the start was successful the process is not running HOST:~ # ps aux |grep smb root 4080 0.0 0.0 3028 708 pts/2 S+ 12:47 0:00 grep smb Stop, and status option are working fine
I think i have found the issue, in startproc sintax there a "-W" flag with the PID of daemon, but the "-W" flag is not valid for startproc, i've removed the flag and the init.d scripts are working again.
which distribution, which samba binary packages?
ups, sorry, you wrote opensuse buildservice I see :-). Reassigning to Lars as he maintains the suse rpms

Thanks for closing. In particular as I had not been able to reproduce the issue on a SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP 4 system. If possible please be so nice and explain what the actual issue was as this might be of help to other users.
After i have removed the "-W" flag in options for startproc the issue does not occur anymore. There is no "-W" flag for startproc in SLES10 SP2.
