OK, I had Samba working, upgraded to FreeBSD 6 (from 5.4) and mgetty stopped working, so I had to reinstall FreeBSD 5.4 again.
Now I can't get Samba (smbd Version 2.2.12, via pkg_add) working and I can't figure out what I did differently this time. All my hosts are 192.168.x.x My smb.conf is below. I am trying to connect to the FreeBSD machine (hostname "compaq") from a WinXP SP2 machine. I have used 'smbpasswd' to add my WinXP username. When I try to access the machine via Windows Explorer, I get "The account is not authoritzed to log in from this station" When I use 'net view \\compaq' I get "System error 5 has occurred Access is denied " Googling around I found that I should add this " nt acl support = no" which I did. Didn't help. Here is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = PRESBY nt acl support = no server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127. load printers = yes log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes Other than that, please don't assume anything. I'm no expert on samba. I can FTP to the machine, but I would prefer Samba. Thanks for any help!
