How to start my Samba share correctly?
Every time I reboot my system I have to use Gadmin-Samba to re-activate my Samba share and it is quite annoying.
When I start Gadmin-Samba I get this:

I have to deactivate first and then activate again, then my share can be accessed by other computers. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Re: How to start my Samba share correctly?
I have never used gadmin-samba so cannot help you with it. If you have a fixed folder you want to share I would suggest you look for the wiki page on Samba and set up smb.conf and then put "samba" in the daemons line in your rc.conf.

Hi thanks for your replies. I did check the wiki page where is also the place I started from zero to configure Samba in my machine.
The problem in my system seems to be linked with the winbind server because in gadmin-samba's settings window I see an option to start winbind server. And I always see a message of "inactive servers: winbindd" when I open gadmin-samba.
What is this winbind or winbindd server and how do I start it automatically?

Re: How to start my Samba share correctly?
You know your system and any unique features. In mine it is enough that smb.conf is configured properly and samba started. You can start samba manually using sudo rc.d start samba. There is no need for anything else. Unless you are using gadmin-samba for a specific purpose.
