 Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:15 pm Post subject: Problems getting samba started. -- RESOLVED |
 |
|
I want to use samba for sharing a printer. When I run /usr/bin/testparm, I get | Quote: | Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
set_variable_helper(l0): value is not a valid size specifier!
Error loading services. |
I'm hoping someone knows where to look in order to fix this error. Thanks,
Fred

i suppose you should add something to /etc/security/limits.conf file.
may be a record about the number of max opened files is help to solve the problem
and dont forget to reload limits (may be it would better reboot your system) |

| Your suggestion helped a bit. There is no longer a complaint on rlimit, but the rest of the song remains the same. Thanks. |

There is nothing called variable or helper in samba.conf |

Hi Fred,
can you please share the content of your smb.conf file. Especially the [global] section.
Best Regards,

Fred Krogh ... that looks to me as though you have 'l0' (lowercase "L", and numeral "zero") when this parameter expects an integer. I expect you wanted "10" (numeral "one" and numeral "zero").
best ... khay |
