Hi there,
I have been watching this thread closely as I too have been unable to get samba working properly here at work. How do you change the workgroup settings for users on their win98 boxen?? I obviously need to change them to MDKGROUP for it to work right but I see no way to change it on the offending win98 boxes.
Cheers
Jason

Hi All
, thanks Kwan & Torstein for the advice , but so far the windows machine still cannot see this machine. I have opened ports 137 & 139 on the firewall , I've altered the smb.conf as suggested, included the chmod and chown foe the public dir, but still nothing. The modified smb.conf is as follows:- [global] workgroup = MDKGROUP netbios name = FW-GB7TF server string = Samba Server %v encrypt passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = cups domain logons = Yes dns proxy = No printer admin = @adm printing = cups security = share [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. browseable = No
[print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers write list = @adm root guest ok = Yes
The smbusers file as follows:-
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ... root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
I'm still stumped, any more suggestions ??
It looks as though your windows users don't have accounts on your box? They
need a user account, with password and username exactly matching their
windows logon, and a samba user account, again with an exact match in
username and password.
I presume they also have MDKGROUP as their workgroup, remembering case sensitivity?
