First, ensure that smb and nmb are running (most likeley, they are):
[root@heronet kernel]# ps aux|grep smb
root 1122 0.0 0.4 2580 1188 ? S 05:28 0:00 smbd -D
root 2563 0.0 0.2 1312 524 pts/0 S 13:00 0:00 grep smb
[root@heronet kernel]# ps aux|grep nmb
root 1132 0.0 0.4 2108 1200 ? S 05:28 0:15 nmbd -D
root 2565 0.0 0.2 1312 524 pts/0 S 13:00 0:00 grep nmb
Then, ensure that the shares are properly configured in the smb.conf
directory, and that the hosts section will allow your subnet to access
your shares:
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 10.15.2. 127.
Then, security is set to user:
security = user
Then make sure the host is entered in the hosts file
Last, make sure that the user you are trying to access as has been entered
into the smbpasswd file.
