Samba Configuration on i.MX6 Yocto 4.1.15

[vincentchou]

Hi!  Support,

I have already included all necessary packages into the Yocto BSP and make the root file system on my board.  I could run nmbd and smbd without any errors.  However, if I enter 'ps -ef' command after I enter nmbd and smbd, there is not process with these names in the background.  Is there a way I could configure smbd and nmbd running in the background on my board on i.MX6 sabresd board with Yocto 4.1.15?

Hello Vincent,

The samba server it is initialized in the  init.rc   scritp you need to run  smbd -b  to run the service in the background. Since the deamon it is started from the begining in the init script.

Happy New Year 2018
