Samba 3.0.21a upgrade failed

[denisl]

Hi -
I'm running red hat 9.0 and just upgraded my samba server to the latest 3.0.21a version.

The last message from rpm -Uvh was:

error: %postun(samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

It appears to be working as I was able to start samba.

[root@RAMAIR samba]# smbstatus

Samba version 3.0.21a
PID     Username      Group         Machine

No locked files

I did notice that when I started samba manually via /etc/init.d/smb start I only got one "[OK]" message for samba starting and not for nmbd starting also. However when I do a ps I can see nmdb running:

[root@RAMAIR samba]# ps -ef | egrep "smb|nmb" | grep -v grep
root      4081     1  0 00:27 ?        00:00:00 [smbd]
root      4082  4081  0 00:27 ?        00:00:00 [smbd]
root      4086     1  0 00:27 ?        00:00:00 nmbd -D
root      4092  4081  0 00:28 ?        00:00:00 [smbd]

Another observation is samba isn't "smbd -D" anymore. Now I have these [smbd] processes.

Here's my logs:

Has anyone run into the same error during install? I've searched google and found a couple of hits but no explinations.
I'm about to configure samba to be a PDC and now I'm worried that something isn't going to work.

Thanks for you help!

I decided to fully uninstall samba (rpm -e) and then install from scratch the newer version.

The install was successful.
There are still the same differences with the processes but I guess this is just a change in this release since samba is working fine.
