I'm trying to set up a Samba server on my Linux Mandrake 10 machine. I've copied the smb.conf settings from the Samba Howto and look like this:
[global] workgroup = Thuis netbios name = Linux printcap name = cups disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Data path = /share force user = bas force group = users guest ok = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printer admin = root, bas create mask = 0600 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No
I started the smb and nmb services which repsond both with [OK].
But when I run the command smbclient -L localhost I get:
session request to LOCALHOST failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF))
Note that because I want to share a certain partition with a windows XP machine /share is mounted at a FAT32 partition. No idea if that has something to do with my problems. I also cannot chown the /share folder (operation not permitted). It is now owned by root.
Help is very welcome.
