service not working with samba nfs

[Jza]

I got a problem with mandriva 2007.1 spring where service can't restart the nfs and the samba services. One of the problems I have seen is that portmaper doesnt run and rpc.nfsd is also not working.

 

Has anyone seen this happening?

 

There has also been some problems since shorewall originally block the NFS ports. But I see this as a different thing.

portmap is a service which you should start first as nfs requirement..

 

chkconfig portmap on

 

then

 

service portmap start

 

or

 

/etc/init.d/portmap start

 

 

-

 

about samba, portmap is not related on it, just make sure you have samba-server installed, not the samba-client only

 

[root@aioshin ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-client-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1
samba-common-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1
samba-server-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1

 

 

Peace!

Exactly exccept that I dont get an output, I get something like this:

 

$ service portmap start

$

 

there is no

portamp is running...

 

or

portmap is starting...

 

There is no FAILED or OK tag. Just like if service was not even working, but it is working with other services.

and again, log files help a little... :P
