Next, you need to see if the daemons have been started. Use the
ps command on the server with the
long option for your machine type (commonly
ps
ax or
ps
-ef), and see if you have either
smbd and
nmbd already running. This often looks like the following:
server% ps ax
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 ? S 0:03 init [2]
2 ? SW 0:00 (kflushd)
(...many lines of processes...)
234 ? S 0:14 nmbd -D3
237 ? S 0:11 smbd -D3
(...more lines, possibly including more smbd lines...)
This example illustrates that
smbd and
nmbd have already started as stand-alone daemons (the
-D option) at log level 3.
