[Gluster-devel] Unable to start samba service (smb) - due to /run/samba/ncalrpc - No such file or directory

[Omkar Sharma]

Hi,

I have installed samba-4.1.11-2.el6.x86_64.rpm and its dependencies taken
from the below link:

http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/samba/CentOS/epel-6.5/x86_64/

The samba package got installed but unable to start the smb service. And I
have *smb* file inside /etc/init.d/ directory.

$ sudo service smb status                       ...not showing any output
$ sudo service smb start                          ...not showing any output

$ sudo /etc/init.d/smb status                    ...not showing any output
$ sudo /etc/init.d/smb start                      ...not showing any output

And I went to see the log files inside /var/log/samba/.

$ vi /var/log/samba/log.smbd

 smbd version 4.1.11 started.

  Failed to create pipe directory /run/samba/ncalrpc - No such file or

Why the samba rpm is not creating /run/samba directory and place the file
ncalrpc ?
