Hello forums friends,
I have a redhat9 samba issue.
I'm trying to share with my windows clients,I had samba working at the beginning.But when I try to launch samba now I keep getting the error message "nautilus can't find master browser check to see if samba is running" which it is running,I'm lost.When I check my processes I have multiples pids for smb,then when I kill them I get "process dead pid file still exists"?I also tried to upgrade my samba with rpm but no luck either.
all help or suggestions would be appreciated.

did you perhaps by accident turn on a firewall or change a setting on your firewall.

I have found the problem,appears that smbd was opening multiple pid's for smb.once I killed them it worked.
