User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.5 Safari/537.36 After installing update openSUSUE-2013-996 and rebooting, the samba server does not work any more. "systemctl status smb" gives: smb.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Wed 2013-12-25 03:35:50 CET; 1min 36s ago Process: 1084 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd $SMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) "sudo systemctl restart smb" gives: Job for smb.service failed. See 'systemctl status smb.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. "systemctl -l status smb.service" gives: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Wed 2013-12-25 03:38:19 CET; 28s ago Process: 1677 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd $SMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa systemd[1]: Starting Samba SMB Daemon... Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa smbd[1677]: [2013/12/25 03:38:19.201121, 0] ../source3/smbd/server.c:1278(main) Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa systemd[1]: PID file /run/samba/smbd.pid not readable (yet?) after start. Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa systemd[1]: smb.service never wrote its PID file. Failing. Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB Daemon. Dec 25 03:38:19 nausicaa systemd[1]: Unit smb.service entered failed state. Creating by hand the folder "/var/run/samba" before restarting the smb service solves the issue, but of course the "/var/run/samba" folder does not survive a reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install update openSUSUE-2013-996 and reboot 2. Check that a SMB client cannot access anymore folders shared by the openSUSE box with Samba 3. Double-check with "systemctl status smb" Actual Results: smb service does not work Expected Results: smb service should be running
