samba woes

[jon3k]

First off, Core4 Test3 is amazing. I'm running 64bit on an averatec 6240 laptop, and overall, its fantastic.

The biggest problem I've got (save for some pcmcia and powernow-k8 stepping issues) is a problem simply starting samba:

[root@nb01 ~]# service smb start
Starting SMB services: /etc/init.d/functions: line 83: 3256 Aborted $nice $* [FAILED]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]

The offending line in "functions" is the daemon() function line, here's the basics of the contents:
daemon() {
# Test syntax.
local gotbase= force=
local base= user= nice= bg= pid=
nicelevel=0
while [ "$1" != "${1##[-+]}" ]; do
case $1 in
'') echo $"$0: Usage: daemon [+/-nicelevel] {program}"
return 1;;
--check)
base=$2
gotbase="yes"
shift 2
;;
--check=?*)
base=${1#--check=}
gotbase="yes"
shift
;;
--user)
user=$2
shift 2
;;
--user=?*)
user=${1#--user=}
shift
;;
--force)
force="force"
shift
;;
[-+][0-9]*)
nice="nice -n $1"
shift
;;
*) echo $"$0: Usage: daemon [+/-nicelevel] {program}"
return 1;;
esac
done



I'm pretty stumped. Any info appreciated.

Also - is there any place other than Bugzilla I should be posting any issues that I run into?

Although I can't help you with the samba issue I can point you towards other reporting places besides Bugzilla. Bugzilla seems to be their official place for reporting bugs, but another place you can ask for help is the fedora-devel mailing list as well as (I think) the programmer mailing list. They might be able to offer some more insight. For access to the mailing lists do a quick perusal of the official fedora site and you should be able to find some links.
