 |
|
please help... i seem to have tried everything. i've followed instructions in a couple of how to's from scratch, tried webmin, no matter what i do doesn't seem to work.
here is my samb.conf file
| Code: |
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
guest account = samba
browseable = yes
server string = Samba %v on tycho
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
workgroup = MARATHON
os level = 20
interfaces = lo eth1
encrypt passwords = yes
security = share
public = yes
bind interfaces only = yes
max log size = 50
available = no
allow hosts = 192.168.0.200
[public]
comment = Public Files
writeable = yes
create mode = 0766
path = /home/samba/public
|
i have a user with the same name/pass in gentoo and winXP, whose pass i've added to samba with smbpasswd.
how should i be trying to access the shares in winXP? i go to my network places, add new, and then browse the network, but as soon as I click on my workgroup (MARATHON), it loads for a while and then comes up empty.
any ideas? |

I use
| Code: | | guest account = nobody |
but this is on a debian system.
Maybe this works for your public (it has no user restrictions though):
| Code: |
[public]
comment = public share
#remember to set permssions for all to rw for the directory!
path = /path/to/share/
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
create mask = 775
|
Works flawlessly with XP in my case. A password is not required (strangely enough linux clients require one).
If you want to have different accounts you may consider setting security=user. |

you should use
security=user
and you might need
map to guest = bad user |
