[SOLVED] Troubles with SAMBA on alARM

[WarheadsSE]

Just to be sure, you have confirmed that smbd & nmbd are running.

Then try connecting \\ip.of.your.plug\

Uninstalling doesn't stop the process. That's your job.

And it isn't about being on the kirkwood specific forward kernel, but the device itself being a kirkwood SoC.

The fact that it is still running after rebooting, tells me something is botched.

What I would do is:

stop samba via rc.d
install samba via pacman
remove samba via pacman
edit rc.config removing "smbd"
restart

If samba is still starting after that ... nuke from orbit, it's possessed.

This might be using systemd instead of rc.d style sysvinit !

Do me a favor,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl')
And tell me what you get. A lot, or "no connection to dbus" or the like.

My samba runs fine and only required systemctl enable smbd
Found in the past if I changed settings best to remove some things, eg
systemctl stop smbd
rm -r /var/lib/samba/*
systemctl start smbd
A good service to have installed and running is avahi-dnsconfd
These is samba.conf can make a network with sharing windows machines settle done quick
local master = no
os level = 65
domain master = yes
