gentoobobby first you shouldn't post your problem here.Better i think was to networking.Now you just need to add at your smb.conf file the correct workgroup name you have specified in windows | Quote: | | workgroup = (name of the workgroup) |
To make a folder to be browsed anonymously from anyone you have to add to the bottom of smb.conf
| Code: | [music]
path = /foo
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
|
Also look here

i dont really understand the how to 2s man , Do i need to have a samba user and password so that any machine can acess the share
i cannot acces theserver from my windows machine
this is my config which i got of a guy earlie
| Code: |
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Samba Server %v
printcap name = cups
# lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/lock
interfaces = lo eth0
hosts allow = 192.168.7.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1
hosts deny = ALL
lanman auth = no
#bind interfaces only = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
security = share
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
map to guest = Bad User
guest ok = yes
wins support = no
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
# this path holds the driver structure
path = /etc/samba/printer
# add a username to the write list
# if you don't want root to be the only
# printer admin
write list = root
[printers] # here all printers will be shown; this becomes the Printer]
# share/section under Network Neighborhood
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
printer admin = printer,root
[homes]
path = /
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
|
this still is not letting me access the fileserver asny reason why this could be anything to do with host allow ? |

gentoobobby look to your smb.conf .You have those lines | Quote: | interfaces = lo eth0
hosts allow = 192.168.7.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1
hosts deny = ALL
lanman auth = no |
comment them and restart samba service with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/samba restart |

This is my smb.conf
| Code: | [global]
# 1. Server Naming Options:
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = adslhome
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Medic Samba Server %v
# 2. Printing Options:
# CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups
printing = cups
# 3. Logging Options:
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba3/log.%m
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 50
# Allow users to map to guest:
map to guest = bad user
# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
security = user
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
# Encrypted passwords are required for any use of samba in a Windows NT domain
# The smbpasswd file is only required by a server doing authentication, thus
# members of a domain do not need one.
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
# 5. Browser Control and Networking Options:
# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
dns proxy = no
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
wins support = no
# NOTE: If you have a CUPS print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer.
# You must configure the samba printers with the appropriate Windows
# drivers on your Windows clients. On the Samba server no filtering is
# done. If you wish that the server provides the driver and the clients
# send PostScript ("Generic PostScript Printer" under Windows), you have
# to swap the 'print command' line below with the commented one.
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# to allow user 'guest account' to print.
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = no
create mode = 0700
# =====================================
# print command: see above for details.
# =====================================
; print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers.
; print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic PostScript on clients).
# The following two commands are the samba defaults for printing=cups
# change them only if you need different options:
; lpq command = lpq -P %p
; lprm command = cancel %p-%j
# This share is used for Windows NT-style point-and-print support.
# To be able to install drivers, you need to be either root, or listed
# in the printer admin parameter above. Note that you also need write access
# to the directory and share definition to be able to upload the drivers.
# For more information on this, please see the Printing Support Section of
# /usr/share/doc/samba-<version>/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @adm root
guest ok = yes
[books]
path = /home/paul/documents/books
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
[music]
path = /mnt/lstorage2/paul/music
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
|
Hope it helps

Try following this guide. There is no need to reemerge samba just skip down the guide to the server configuration part. I suggest you start with a clean smb.conf and configure it as per the guide. Keep things simple first in order to establish a simple connection then you can add security related stuff. Remeber to restart samba in order for the configuration to take effect.
Cheers |

You have to think carefully about the way you want to use a samba share. If it is to be used by one user just make sure that that user owns the folder he is writing to as a Linux user too.
If you want to have a group share, it is probably best to play with "force user" or "force group" options to change the Linux file owner to be a particular user/group regardless of which user actually writes to the share.
When you have got something basic working you can then experiment with the more advanced options like ACL support.
The best thing to do, is to start off with something simple and then build on it as you understand how things are working.
