Introduction
This documentation helps you to troubleshoot problems users can encounter when running Samba as an Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC).
General
Setting the Samba Log Level
For details, see Setting the Samba Log Level.
Process Management
Verifying That Samba Is Running
Use the ps
utility to verify that Samba processes are executed:
# ps axf | egrep "samba|smbd|winbindd" ... 917 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D 923 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D 936 ? Ss 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground 940 ? S 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground 941 ? S 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground 943 ? S 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground 924 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D 925 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D ... 935 ? Ss 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground 939 ? S 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D --option=server role check:inhibit=yes --foreground ...
Samba Domain Controller do not support network browsing, and thus no nmbd processes are listed. |
All samba
, smbd
, and winbindd
processes must be child processes of one samba
process.
If you do not see a process structure as displayed:
- Verify your Samba log files to locate the problem. For a detailed output, increase the log level. For details, see Setting the Samba Log Level
- Start Samba interactively and watch the output:
# samba -i
