Hello everyone,

i installed ipfire on a new hardware and apparently shot up the samba configuration.

[root@router ~]# /etc/init.d/samba restart
Stopping smbd...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/   Not running. 366: kill: (8389) - No such process                                     [ WARN ]
Stopping nmbd...                                                                                         [  OK  ]
Stopping winbind...                                                                                      [  OK  ]
Starting nmbd...                                                                                         [  OK  ]
Starting smbd...                                                                                         [  OK  ]
Starting winbind...                                                                                      [  OK  ]

[root@router ~]# /etc/init.d/samba status
nmbd is running with Process ID(s) 7488 7487.
/usr/sbin/smbd is not running but /var/run/smbd.pid exists.
winbindd is running with Process ID(s) 7503 7502.

How can I completely uninstall from ipfire Samba? I have uninstalled Samba via Pakfire and then reinstalled it again but the settings remain the same even if I delete the folder “/var/ipfire/samba”.

No matter what I do, I can’t get your “SMB Daemon” to start. This does not work via the web interface or via shell.

I really need some advice or help.

(I’m on core 142) from console, pakfire install samba. Told me 40.15 MB total.

it brought samba, krb5, cups, avahi, bluetooth, cups-filters, dbus,ghostscript libtiff, and libdaemon packages. samba started, 3 pids (smbd, nmbd, winbindd). There is a configuration menu, samba, under IPFire menu (under pakfire)

On uninstall, I went to GUI, IPFire > pakfire and selected all of those packages, clicked uninstall, it did, there is no /etc/init.d/samba anymore. Rebooted, comes up w/o issues.

I have also implemented the uninstallation of all packages with reboot but it does not get better.

[root@router ~]# /etc/init.d/samba reload

I have now completely reinstalled my router and configured Samba. My Samba shares are now working again and all services are started.
