How to stop and start samba services?

Post by PaganGod »

I am having an issue with AD authentication which I believe, based on discussions with someone in the #samba IRC channel, is caused by a corrupt or otherwise problematic tdb (trivial database) file which holds the user data. Basically, I've been instructed to stop samba (winbindd specifically) and rename the file, and then to start samba again.

The problem is, I can't find information on how to do the stopping and starting of samba. Can anyone help?

Please see http://www.forums.nas4free.org/viewtopi ... =19&t=5602 for background on the problem I am trying to resolve if interested.

Enable / disable service in WebGUi : http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... _smb_samba

and by shell : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba start ( or stop or restart)

raulfg3: Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't realize that would stop it equally well as the CLI method.
