 Posted: Tue May 27, 2014 9:27 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Samba issue |
 |
|
Hi, ALL,
I followed an instruction on how to set up Samba described here.
Now my issues are:
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud igor # /etc/init.d/samba start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* WARNING: samba is scheduled to start when net.eth0, net.wlan0 has started
|
This I don't understand. I have net.wlan0 working as I'm connected to the Internet/network, but samba does not see it?
So, next is check the configuration.
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud linux # /usr/bin/testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[public]"
WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Samba Server %v
interfaces = lo, wlan0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = No
dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
hosts allow = 192.168.1.9, 127.0.0.1
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /home/samba/public
write list = @staff
read only = No
create mask = 0766
guest ok = Yes
|
I guess this is OK as I didn't get any error messages.
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud linux # smbclient -L localhost
WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated
Enter root's password:
Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
|
Ok, so now I need to look at the log file.
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud samba # ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 27 01:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 May 26 18:12 ..

IgorReinCloud samba # date
Tue May 27 02:25:21 PDT 2014
|
No log file is created. Which means that samba really didn't start.
Also just to finish the instructions:
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud linux # mount -t cifs -o username=root,password=wasqra /home/samba/public /mnt/samba
mount.cifs: bad UNC (/home/samba/public)
|
This error I completely don't understand. I'm trying to mount my samba public directory to the mountpoint, but it comes back wrong?
So what am I doing wrong?
Basically I'm trying to have access to my Gentoo machine from the Windows machine. I don't need any printing. Just reading some files.
If you need more info, just let me know.
Thank you for any hints/pointers.

Hi,
you should modify in /etc/rc.conf the following entry to this:
| Code: |
rc_hotplug="!net.*"
|
Samba should start now, although no netdevice is started.

Is there any implications to this?
Does this mean I will have to start network interfaces manually?
Thank you. |

OK, I made that change and rebooted.
Everything seems to be started from the network POV, but I see following at the end of my boot-up screen:
| Code: |
WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive
WARNING: netmount is scheduled to start when net.eth0, net.wlan0 has started
WARNING: samba is scheduled to start when net.eth0, net.wlan0 has started
Starting locals
|
and it actually means I killed my Internet connection.
I can't access the Web anymore. Typing this from different machine.
Any idea?
Thank you. |

| Code: | | WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive |
This do not affect connexion status. You can check it with
| Code: | | rc-service net.wlan0 status |
| Code: | | WARNING: netmount is scheduled to start when net.eth0, net.wlan0 has started |
If you only want Samba share through the network, you can disable netmount with the rc-update command.
Is net.eth0 and net.wlan0 are set to start at boot time? One thing I do is to set my network devices start in the boot runlevel and Samba start in the default runlevel.
| Code: | rc-update add net.eth0 boot
rc-update add net.wlan0 boot
rc-update add samba default |
This way at boot time, all the network connexions are already started when Samba start.
If you want no password for Samba clients you can set this in the [global] section of smb.conf
| Code: | [global]
...
map to guest = Bad User
security = user
guest account = nobody
... |
To mount your samba share from a remote Linux machine, in /etc/fstab
| Code: | | //MSHOME/public /mnt/samba cifs noauto,password=,rw 0 0 |
MSHOME must have an Ip address as domain name in /etc/hosts, or you have to replace MSHOME with the real IP address where Samba listen to connexions in fstab. Than

Therefore I don't have connection.

Yes, LAN only. Not accessible to outside world.
But netmount is something that was here before Samba installation. And I prefer not touch something that worked.

Ok. One question though.
I'm doing it on a laptop where I have ifplugd daemon installed to manage wired connection. Will it work in this case?
Also what are the implications of this? I mean will there be any issues?

Well I'm going to use samba from the WinXP machine, not different *nix one.
And I do want to have a password to access this machine.
Also one thing I didn't find on that WiKi page is: where to define a user that will access the samba share?
Thank you.
[EDIT]
Also, for some reason with this change, wicd daemon fails to stop.
When I reboot the machine it tries to be stopped for some time and then tells that there is a failure.

I dont think, thats a good idea. IIRC the netscripts belong to the default runlevel as well. Usually, if you set | Code: | | rc_hotplug="!net.*" |
, the normal services should start without issues. According to wireless: this is a topic for itself. I had a lot issues get this running well. I also get the message | Code: | | WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive |
But after a few seconds the net device is connected. This message occures, cause the net.wlan0 script needs to call wpa_supplicant first, before dhcp or a static address can be assinged to the device.
Make sure your wpa_supplicant.conf is setup correctly and that you are able to connect to your access point/router.
For netmount: this mounts networkfilesystems added in /etc/fstab like nfs shares or samba shares. This needs a running net connection before it can mount anything.

Well, yes. That's why I didn't do it yet and wanted to confirm it is a good idea.

Yes, wpa_supplicant.conf set up properly and without the "rc_hotplug" change, I get connection.

I could post (type) my wpa_supplicant.conf, but it was working without "rc_hotplug" change, so I assume everything is OK.
What else I can look at/check?
Thank you. |

Hi,
can you post your wpa_supplicant.conf and your /etc/conf.d/net please?
I think it could be a very little config issue in your case

bbgermany,
reading /etc/rc.conf, it say that the boot runlevel allow hotplugging. So, put a net service in that runlevel is good for hotplugging. To allow a service to be hotplugged, you just name it without the prefix ! . The ! disable the hotplug possibility of a service. So,
will allow all net services like net.eth0, net.lo, net.wlan0, etc, to be hotplugged.
| Code: | | rc-hotplug="!net.*" |
will disable the hotplug fonctionnality for those services. This is what I understand from the rc.conf explanation of rc-hotplug variable.
| Code: | # rc_hotplug is a list of services that we allow to be hotplugged.
# By default we do not allow hotplugging.
# A hotplugged service is one started by a dynamic dev manager when a matching
# hardware device is found.
# This service is intrinsically included in the boot runlevel.
# To disable services, prefix with a !
# Example - rc_hotplug="net.wlan !net.*"
# This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged.
# Example - rc_hotplug="*"
# This allows all services to be hotplugged
#rc_hotplug="*" |
But you are right when you say that the net services can be start from the default runlevel, because the dependancies between scripts are always verify by Openrc. Dependancies are than executed in a logical order to make all enabled scripts start successfully, no matter the runlevel they are in.
ONEEYEMAN,
if you use ifplugd for the wire eth0 connexion, it may replace the net.eth0 script. All is about a good configuration of ifplugd and net.eth0 that will not duplicate and/or conflict each service. The configuration of /etc/rc.conf, ifplugd, /etc/conf.d/net and the enabled boot scripts have to be verified.

Hi,
Sorry, i wasnt able to check the config in detail up to now. We had a day off yesterday...
The configs look good. Does /var/log/messages contain any entry towards your net connection when booting?
@Logicien
You understood this correct. In this case, it also helps starting services, which sometimes depend on a working netdevice, before the device is up. Thats how I understood this in the past.
Greets bb
EDIT: I maybe found a little "dirty" workaround: Since /etc/init.d/samba contains the line "need net" you can add net.lo to your default runlevel. This will provide a working loopback connection with a started net device. iirc i did this in the past as well...

So is it safe to put them in the boot level?

Well net.lo is started at the "boot" level. Should I move it to default?

Hi,
just check the messages files for errors, you dont need to post the whole file. by default my net.lo script was in no runlevel. you could try putting it into default instead of boot. i would always put net scripts into default not boot. i think there would be missing dependecies, if they start at boot.

I'm using ath9k wireless driver and there is nothing in either /var/log/messages, nor /var/log/messages.0 that relates to the connection failure.
Maybe I need to turn on debugging in the kernel?
Thank you. |

Nope, you dont need to turn on debugging, as long as you get a connection with your wireless card. Have you tried net.lo in runlevel default? Is samba still not starting?
Greets, bb
EDIT: Do you have an entry in /etc/rc.conf like the following?
| Code: | | rc_depend_strict="NO" |
If it is set to yes, set it to no.

That entry was commented out and I think the default value was "YES".
I uncommented it and set it to "NO".
That doesn't change anything.
Both eth0 and wlan0 are inactive on reboot and after that samba is trying to start but failing to do so since there is no network.
Its getting late here.
Talk to you in the morning.
Thank you. |

The script loopback in the boot runlevel take care of activating the loopblack interface lo at boot time. There's no need to put the net.lo script in any runlevel for that.
ONEEYEMAN,
your problem is a network one for the moment. Show us the output of
and the contain of the /etc/conf.d/net file. These are the keys for network help.

My friend, /etc/conf.d/net contain only comments. In that case, Openrc make a dhcp request on the interfaces net.eth0 and net.wlan0. It's often good for a wire network connexion, but generally not enough for a wireless one.
If you have to connect to an Access Point, you probably want wpa_supplicant to establish the connexion before any dhcp request. Here is the importance of configure /etc/conf.d/net. The example from the mine look like this
| Code: | config_wlan0="dhcp"
dhclient_wlan0="-v"
modules_wlan0="dhclient !dhcpcd iproute2 iwconfig wireless wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-D nl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log -t" |
It will work if /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf is occurate, what it look.
Using Openrc to manage your wire net.eth0 and wireless net.wlan0 connexions mean that you do not need Wicd for those. Wicd should be disabled for the moment
| Code: | rc-service wicd stop
rc-update del wicd default |
unless you really want to use it. The same way, you should disable ifplugd until you get connected by net.eth0 and net.wlan0.
To advoid conflicts, I never allow two or more applications do the same thing at the same time on the same interface. It's specially true when you cannot connect and stay true after too.
If this do not work, you can try the manual method again.
Your boot scripts proccess look good.

Logicien,
So basically what I will do by removing wicd and ifplugd is start from scratch making sure I can run the network and samba, correct?
Now, what I wonder is how come everything worked before and now after changing hotplug option everything stopped working?
Thank you. |

Logicien,
Also, why do you have so much stuff in that file?
Looking at Handbook, it only have 2 small options there...
Thank you. |

OK, this is really weird.
I have ath9k as a wireless driver.
Before I started playing with all this everything worked.
Now I modified /etc/conf.d/net to read like this:
| Code: |
modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dath9k -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -t"
|
And I got following error during the boot:
| Code: |
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: no such file or directory
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/wpa_cli`
* start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.pid`: No such file or directory
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start
|
Then I opened another terminal as root and typed this:
| Code: |
wpa_supplicant -Dath9k -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
|
and the output was:
| Code: |
Unsupported driver 'ath9k'
|
I don't understand this at all.
I don't have wireless-tools installed at all, but just running wpa_supplicant fails with this error? How come it was working before?
Thank you. |

Hi,
ath9k is not correct for the command line of wpa_supplicant. Either try "-Dwext" or "-Dnl80211"
