freezr Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Ok folks... This very setup was fixed and made working at my job. I tested from the new M$ Terminal while connected to the LAN of my office, extremely satisfied I returned to home and when I connected the HC4 to my router, the "systemd smbd.service" didn't work again (event though at my workplace I rebooted for testing purpose the board several time and Samba had been woking all the time). The Office LAN is most likely managed by a Win Server and is on 192.160.0.X, at home I am connected to a Comcast Cable Router on 10.0.0.X... This the error I get from systemd: × smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2022-06-08 20:48:33 EDT; 19min ago Docs: man:smbd(8) man:samba(7) man:smb.conf(5) Process: 3650 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/samba/update-apparmor-samba-profile (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3655 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd --foreground --no-process-group $SMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 3655 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Status: "daemon failed to start: reinit_after_fork() failed" Error: 2 (No such file or directory) CPU: 306ms systemd[1]: Starting Samba SMB Daemon... smbd[3655]: [2022/06/08 20:48:33.962189, 0] ../../source3/lib/util.c:482(reinit_after_fork) smbd[3655]: messaging_reinit() failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND smbd[3655]: [2022/06/08 20:48:33.962547, 0] ../../lib/util/become_daemon.c:119(exit_daemon) smbd[3655]: exit_daemon: daemon failed to start: reinit_after_fork() failed, error code 2 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE systemd[1]: smbd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. odroidhc4 systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB Daemon My setup doesn't change the default "smbd.conf' but it recalls another configuration with: config file = /etc/samba/smb-local.conf I added that line to the very first section of the default "smbd.conf": [global] config file = /etc/samba/smb-local.conf ## Browsing/Identification ### # Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of workgroup = WORKGROUP # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) All my main configurations go under the "smb-local.conf", this is the setup has been taken from my current "OMSC/RPI2" Samba configuration: [global] # If you require a fully custom smb.conf create smb-local.conf instead of editing smb.conf so your # configuration will not be overwritten by samba upgrades.

If you need full control see smb-local.conf above. include = /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf Users are handled by: include = /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf This is an example how my "/etc/samba/smb-shares.conf" is composed and is taken by my documentation, but matches my current setup: [public] comment =Public Storage path = /srv/samba/public valid users = @users force group = users create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0771 read only = no [MyUSER] browsable = yes read only = no valid users = YOUR-HC4-USER, MyUSER path = /srv/samba/MyUSER comment = MyUSER Folder force group = users locking = no create mask = 0765 directory mask = 0765 Of course if I remove from "smbd.conf" this line: config file = /etc/samba/smb-local.conf The systemd service doesn't fail... But with my configuration "testparm -s" doesn't fail either... $ testparm -s Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded services file OK.

Solution freezr Posted June 9, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted June 9, 2022 I found the culprit and was this line: lock directory = /var/cache/samba For testing I created "/var/cache/samba/locks" but it didn't work either... This link says it safe using default setup: https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/network_administration_guides/using_samba_book/ch05_05_11.html Therefore for the moment I commented it to make the smbd,service working... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
