[SOLVED] bind failed on port 139 socket

Answer 1028 (0.0% helpful)

I used to have this problem. This is a solution with what i can remember, it may not be too accurate.

Problem : You are trying to launch smbd daemon  but samba can\'t bind on netbios port.

Solution : 
a - verify that no more smb server is running in background (zombies, or else). 

b - verify that nothing is listening 139/tcp on 0.0.0.0 (which means any address). try something with \'lsof -i tcp\' or \'netstat -ln\' depending on your os. 
If you\'ve found something, stop it or reconfigure it to listen to anoter port ; unless it is not another samba daemon.

There is also some bugs referenced to samba on this socket creation. try to patch it to the latest version if nothing works.
