When I try to restart Samba, I am receiving the following error message:
Failed to start samba.service: Unit samba.service is masked.
In addition, when I run systemctl, it shows smbd.service in red showing failed.
At the same time restart began to fail, I have lost the share ability in folders created and cannot access. Any help would be appreciated!!!
It seems that smbmount is not available in Kubuntu 12.10:
- neptune():~$ smbmount //192.168.0.100/ samba/ -o rw
smbmount: command not found
- neptune():~$ apt-file search smbmount
manpages-zh: /usr/share/man/zh_CN/man8/smbmount.8.gz
manpages-zh: /usr/share/man/zh_TW/man8/smbmount.8.gz
- neptune():~$ aptitude search smbmount
- neptune():~$
Furthermore, I cannot seem to use smbfs to mount:
- neptune():~$ sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.100/ samba/ -o rw
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'
- neptune():~$ aptitude search smbfs
- neptune():~$
Any ideas how to continue?
Looking for a simple way to do this from the command line.
List samba shares and the users who can access each of them.
List samba shares and the users currently connected to them.
List samba shares and every connection (log, including user) that has been established to each of them.
Any ideas? Anything you use that's currently available that will give me the bits I need to put this together?
Cheers!
Sorry this is a little embarassing but I'm trying to set up my own server for the first time. I found great tutorial online.

I'm stuck at the 2nd to last line of step 4. Apparently there is no samba directory in init.d.
Why isn't there a samba directory in init.d?
Would the following work?
# sudo restart smbd
# sudo restart nmdb
I am setting up a box to be a file server at the house. It will mainly be used to share music, pictures, movies with other linux boxes on the network, and one OS X machine. From what I have read NFS and samba would work in my situation, and as such I am not sure which to choose. What is important to me is the speed transfers between boxes and how difficult it is to setup.
Which would you recommend and why?
