You are looking for the file smbd.pid in this case. Shut down smbd
and nmbd
(i.e. shut down samba), then look for smbd.pid and nmbd.pid, and
delete them
when you find them. If samba is shut down, these files should not
exist.
Likely, they are in:
SAMBATEMPLOC/lib/<servername>/*.pid
Where SAMBATEMPLOC is the location where Samba keeps temp files it needs
while running (e.g. /usr/lib/samba, /usr/local/samba, /var/lib/
samba), and
<servername> is the name of your Samba server host.

Samba will not start on a server of mine:
sudo /sbin/service smb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
sudo /sbin/service smb status
smbd dead but pid file exists
nmbd (pid 13503) is running...
cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = global
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = devserver
server string = Samba Server
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
read only = No
local master = No
dos filetime resolution = yes
[tmp]
path = /tmp
testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[tmp]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
sudo /sbin/service smb stop
Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED]
Shutting down NMB services: [ OK ]
pwd
/var/run
ll | grep smb
(nothong)
Yet.. it still will not start.. sometimes it has.. but then
restarting it
(with no changes to smb.conf) then it will not start.
What gives?
