Problem
Samba services were started automatically when the server is powered on.
But after some time, the Samba services are not running any more.
Cause
Unknown.
smbd and nmbd daemons stopped working unexpectedly.
pgrep smbd and pgrep nmbd return no process id
What does the log say? See /opt/local/var/log.smbd and log.nmbd
Solution
Unknown.
Workaround
Restart the services manually
sudo launchctl start org.samba.nmbd; sudo launchctl start org.samba.smbd
Hint
Maybe adding a “keep alive” option in the org.samba.smbd.plist / org,samba.nmbd.plist will help?
<key>KeepAlive</key> <dict> <key>SuccessfulExit</key> <false/> </dict>
Beware:
Use SuccessfulExit = false!
So samba services only gets restarted in case of an unexpected error.
Otherwise, you’ll get a loop, when launchd is restarting samba over and over again.
Start/Stop the apache service
$ sudo launchctl start|stop org.apache.httpd
Start/Stop the samba service
$ sudo launchctl start|stop org.samba.nmbd $ sudo launchctl start|stop org.samba.smbd
List all services
$ sudo launchctl list
Find the name of a service
$ sudo launchctl list|grep samba - 0 org.samba.smbd - 0 org.samba.nmbd
List info about one service
$ sudo launchctl list org.samba.smbd
{
"Label" = "org.samba.smbd";
"LimitLoadToSessionType" = "System";
"OnDemand" = true;
"LastExitStatus" = 0;
"TimeOut" = 30;
"ProgramArguments" = (
"/opt/local/sbin/smbd";
"-D";
);

smb.conf (macports)
/opt/local/etc/samba3/smb.conf
Example
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba OS X Lion security = share # --------------------------------------------------------- # Create all files and folders as this user/group # --------------------------------------------------------- # Hint: # This only works for users without root privileges! # --------------------------------------------------------- force user = foo force group = staff # --------------------------------------------------------- # Misc # --------------------------------------------------------- dns proxy = no load printers = no [shared] comment = shared path = /data/shared public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no
More examples: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#anon-rw
Hint #1
Make sure, the user “foo” has no root privileges on your lion server.
Why? Samba will not allow access for root users.
force user = foo force group = staff
Hint #2
Simple starting & stopping of smbd and nmbd while tailoring your smb.conf
See man smbd and man nmbd for details.
$ sudo /opt/local/sbin/nmbd -i -debuglevel=2 $ sudo /opt/local/sbin/smbd -F -S --debuglevel=2
Hint #3
Do not start smbd as root in interactive mode. It will not work. See hint #1.
$ sudo /opt/local/sbin/smbd -i
Hint #4
Add/enable/no pw for forced user with smbpasswd? Not sure about that one…
$ sudo smbpasswd –a foo $ sudo smbpasswd –e foo $ sudo smbpasswd –n foo
See man smbpasswd for details
Install
Configure
Create plists for launchd
Tell launchd to process the files (when system is booted the next time)
$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.samba.smbd.plist
$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.samba.nmbd.plist
Starting/Stopping via launchctl (manually)
$ sudo launchctl start|stop org.samba.nmbd
$ sudo launchctl start|stop org.samba.smbd
Problem
I have been using custom sharing by configuring /etc/smb.conf in earlier Mac OS X. But I cannot find any user-configurable file for this custom sharing in 10.7 Lion.
Is there a method for this purpose in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion?
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1155665
Cause
Apple has removed it.
All Configuration is to be done via the server.app GUI.
Solution
None
Workaround
Install Samba via macports

Problem
When a user tries to delete a file from the shared folder from one of the clients, it deletes immediately and does not go through the OS X “Trash” system.
Cause
The network trash cans went away when AFP 3 came in. Local files still get sent to .Trashes but it is no longer possible to do anything but delete files immediately with network shares.
Solution
None
