Samba is extremely robust. Once you have everything set up the way you want, you'll probably forget that it is running. When trouble occurs, it's typically during installation or when you're trying to reconfigure the server. Fortunately, a wide variety of resources are available to diagnose these troubles. While we can't describe in detail the solution to every problem you might encounter, you should be able to get a good start at resolving the problem by following the advice given in this chapter. The first section of this chapter lists the tool bag, a collection of tools available for troubleshooting Samba; the second section is a detailed how-to; the last section lists extra resources to track down particularly stubborn problems. |
