smb startup

[spen]

thank you very much for the suggestion.
I checked my dmesg -a and I came up with these errors concerning samba:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting SAMBA: removing stale tdbs :
Starting nmbd.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: 
Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0"

Starting smbd.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: 
Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "libpopt.so.0"

ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib
a.out ldconfig path: /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so I acted :

avid# locate libintl.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6
avid# cp /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 /usr/lib/libintl.so.6
avid# reboot

and smb started normally...
so I guess --read the errors--!!
but, why didn't it find the "/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6" and had to be copied to "/usr/lib" ??

(I found a similar situation here --> http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2004-12/1060.html)

The only thing you need in rc.conf is samba_enable="YES".

If you do a dmesg -a, do you see any Samba related startup errors? If 
not, how about the log files in /var/log/samba?

It sounds like Samba is failing at startup because it requires 
something that's not available yet (like DNS). After your machine is 
finished booting, it has the environment it requires.
