 |
|
Hi!
I've got Samba running and the good news is that my xffm (XFCE's file
manager) can see and browse the network 
The not-so-good news is that even though the Win98 machines on the
network can see me and see the list of folders I have shared, they cant
access them.
The error that pops-up goes something like the share is not accessible,
and please make sure you typed the name correctly.
Samba's log for that specific connecting-comp's hostname says:
| Code: | [2004/05/15 12:05:29, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(677) '/home/kristy/downloads/share' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [public]
|
My smb.conf is pretty simple:
| Code: |
[global]
workgroup = MAIN-ONE
server string = Gentoo
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
load printers = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
security = share
guest account = samba
guest ok = yes
[public]
comment = Public Files
browseable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0766
guest ok = yes
path = /home/kristy/downloads/share
|
I basically copied the conf from Gentoo's Samba Docs and modified it
to suit my needs.
The share folder, btw, really does exist:
| Code: |
root@kristy kristy # ls -l /home/kristy/downloads/
drwxr-xr-x 2 kristy 100 8192 May 11 16:24 share
|
As for the guest account, I only created it using "smbpasswd -an guest".
Is that alright?
Thanks,
Kristy

| Check the permissions for each directory in your path. If the home dir is 750 it won't work for example. |

in your smb.conf your guest user is called samba
do you have a unix user called samba and is that user mapped to guest in /etc/smbusers |
