i just had a problem that may need looking into.
my samba processes had been killed. the init.d scripts for samba (smb
and winbind) both return a non-zero status when you try to stop the
service when it's already dead. clusvcadm couldn't stop the service
because of this non-zero status, and i was also unable to start it.
i fixed it for now by making the stop functions in smb and winbind return 0.
are there any accepted standards for /etc/init.d scripts? What is
supposed to happen when stopping a non-running service? in other words,
is this a samba or a cluster problem?
