Hmm. Good idea. But didn't do the trick, but meanwhile I'd also upgraded to
smbd version 3.0.33-3.28.el5 - which wasn't working any better really.
Except now finally there's an error message, a clue!

May 25 16:40:05 xyz smbd[4092]: [2010/05/25 16:40:05, 0] lib/messages.c:message_init(132)
May 25 16:40:05 xyz smbd[4092]: ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database

That error doesn't occur with "smbd -D" though. Off to Google it....

Thanks,
Whit

That feels as if it could be an SELinux problem. If your initscript has
been edited and picked up the wrong context, smbd will not have all the
permissions it normally gets. Try

ls -Z /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
restorecon -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb

To test if it is selinux you might try with selinux set to permissive. I
had all kinds of troubles getting samba 3.0.33 working on centos 5.4, 64-bit
until I tried that. Good luck.
