 |
|
I am running samba 2.2.4 and it doesn't work. I can see my com in windoze, but i can't connect to it. It must be samba b/c i can connect to other coms from vmware. Error is:
| Code: |
\\Laptop is not accessable
The network path was not found.
|
Here's the smb.conf
| Code: | [global]
workgroup = HOME
server string = Samba Server %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
guest account = pcguest
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
guest ok = yes
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[main]
comment = Laptop
path = /
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers.

I just used the stock smb.conf file that comes with the distribution (I think it's smb.conf.sample or something). Then I changed the workgroup name, server string and nt description field to whatever I wanted. I removed printing support (just commented it out -- I don't have a printer) and under the [homes] section I set 'browsable = yes'...
If you log in as a specific user, don't forget to specify your user directory, or homes:
| Code: | | smbclient -U myusername //computer_name/homes |
or
| Code: | | smbclient -U myusername //computer_name/myusername |
Seems to work all right for me... Windows should pick it up too, just use the above machine spec (//computer_name/homes) but reverse the slashes.

| yea, i'm using the stock config w/ cosmetic changes and i switched security to user b/c in my experience, that works better. I'll try one from another box and see what happens. |

/usr/bin/smbd and /usr/bin/nmbd are both running on my system, if they're not samba ain't running.
Try | Code: | | /etc/init.d/samba restart |
You also have to do this when making changes to the smb.conf file.
Stating the obvious, I assume you have run rc-update add samba default, or any other runlevel.

| Somewhere in that guide I posted, I believe it mentions setting the debug level of the log files. Do so. You should get some info in the samba logs that will tell you /why/ smbd won't start. |
