Re: Odd failure of smbd to start from init.d - CentOS 5.4

[Whit Blauvelt <whit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following up, that appears to be /var/cache/samba/messages.tdb it can't
intialize. Which sits there with the same permissions on the not-working
CentOS 5.4 systems as on the working Redhat 5.4 systems. Now what could
create a problem for that when started from "/etc/init.d/smb start" but not
from "sh /etc/init.d/smb start" or "smbd -D"?

All ideas are welcome. I'm seeing with the Google that Samba has long been
fragile about this stuff - but haven't found the fix yet.
