Before using the Samba agents
-
Verify that smbd and nmbd always run as daemons. Verify that they cannot start using meta-daemon inetd.
-
Verify that the smbd and nmbd daemons are in the path environment variable. If they are not, verify that they run from the default directory /usr/bin.
-
Verify that Samba is configured properly and that the Samba configuration file is identical on all cluster systems. The user can replicate the file or store it on a shared disk accessible from all cluster systems.
-
If configuring Samba as a WINS server or Domain Master, verify that the Samba lock directory is on the shared disk. This ensures that the WINS server database and Domain Master are created on the shared disk.
