Samba fail to start

[mururoa]

First, I know, I dont have logs available right now and it will be much less easy to help me without but I start this post anyway and will post logs after.
Now the facts.
Samba dont works at all on my Asus wl500g Deluxe !
My firmware is oleg latest firmware.
First I tried to activate samba following www.macsat.com samba tutorial but it didnt worked with an error like "cant get hostname by address".
So I tried to activate asus "samba demo mode" wich fail also ( didnt found the logs ).
At last I installed samba v3 with ipkg and this time I have the nmbd deamon running but not the smbd deaemon.
I tried to debug and I see nothing obviously wrong in the messages while smbd starting until the last message "Bad system call" and then smbd dies.
Someone has and idea ?

You do not have any disk mounted on /tmp/harddisk.

[mururoa]

You do not have any disk mounted on /tmp/harddisk.

Well, I have to check that but is this mandatory and why ?
In the smb.conf I set the share to be located in /opt/stick while the usb key is mounted on /opt.

[oleo]

macsat tutorial is somewhat obsolete. Just edit /etc/smb.conf and add /etc/smb.conf line into /usr/local/.files

This will work with your startup script or with demo mode.

Mandatory? No. How do you mount /opt? with post-boot ?

[mururoa]

Yes, /opt is mounted in post-boot.
But it's not a mount pbm since when I start the daemon manually after boot ( /opt mounted ) it's the same problem. And with debug I can see that smbd read the right smb.conf file.
Anyway you provided some usefull suggestion about .files and smb.conf location ( wich is for now in /opt/etc/samba ).

The printcap file was created with just touch /opt/etc/printcap since there is no printer and samba fail to start if the file is not present.

[mururoa]

I will try to add a printer so I should get a valid printcap file.
Or can I tell samba that there is no printer so no need to check printcap ?
I suspect a library ( Bad system call ) or a printcap problem.
Anyone any clue ?
