probe_samba debugging

807567Mar 17 2008 — edited Mar 17 2008
I have samba (smbd, nmbd and winbindd) in a single fail-over configuration.
All the services work but the probe_samba check fails for an undetermined reason.
The smbd service starts and the smbtest user can access the scmondir without issue.
I have turned on debugging per the documentation and am looking for some ideas to debug further.
The probe_samba command configured is below.

/opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/bin/probe_samba -R 'samba-smb' -G 'SAMBA-HA' -X 'smbd nmbd' -B '/usr/sfw/bin' -S '/usr/sfw/sbin' -C '/local/samfs1/samba' -L '/local/samfs1/samba/logs' -U MS\\\\smbtest%secret -M 'scmondir' -P '/usr/sfw/lib' -H %HOSTNAMES

The funny thing is that the syslog entry for the probe failure includes a servers name but its not the NETBIOS or the logical host name of the server. It just contains the generic name 'samba'.

Mar 16 22:51:40 sunvcs5-global SC[SUNWscsmb.samba.probe]:SAMBA-HA:samba-smb: [ID 182069 daemon.error] check_smbd - Samba server *<samba>* not working, failed to connect to samba-resource <scmondir>

Anyone have any ideas how to trouble-shoot further?
Thanks,
AJ
