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.
 
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

I'd try to recompile Samba without winbind module.

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.
