Samba /etc/rc.conf

Hi all,

I have just installed FreeBSD 9.0 and can't work out why samba is not starting automatically on boot. It runs fine when I manually start it either by typing smbd and nmbd or by using the rc script. It doesn't even attempt to start, I have checked /var/log/messages, I can see the other daemons starting but no mention of samba.

I have tried
Code: 
samba_enable="YES"
and
Code: 
smbd_enable="YES"
nmbd_enable="YES"

I am out of ideas, hopefully someone else can shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance.
 
What Samba version are you using? Are there any any additional hints while starting samba using:
Code: 
service samba start
?
 
I am running Samba 36-3.6.3

If I run the command you specified

Code: 
service start samba
I get the following message

Code: 
Cannot 'start' samba. Set winbindd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'.

I don't actually want to run the winbindd, don't you only need to run winbindd if you actually intend to join it up to a windows domain?

If I use the command

Code: 
service samba onstart

if starts winbindd anyway.
 
Maybe you have configured winbind dependency in your smb.conf.
There are some checks in rc.d/samba.

If you do not need winbind support, you can recompile the port without WINBIND

That is exactly what I was going to do originally but thought it couldn't be that easy. Thanks heaps, that's all I needed to do, now it starts on boot like it should.
