I am at a loss. I have browsed hundreds of message boards and list serves. I am running Mandrake 7.0 I installed samba 2.0.7 ran ./configure and make and make install....no errors created a simple smb.conf file and added swat 901/tcp to the /etc/services file. Also added swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat...there are no # infront of these lines...to the /etc/inetd.conf...then issued killall -HUP inetd to restart inetd I have seen that some have this line pointing ot /usr/sbin/samba ...I don't have samba installed there so I don't. Made the test directory and chmod. I am follow the OReilly book on samba. All seems to be inorder...http://localhost:901...won't connect it goes to a netscape search page. I changed the netscape preferences in the proxy section to no proxy localhost:901...no effect still wont connect...can connect to the web server. Checked the samba client scbclient -L localhost -U% Get added inferface ip=xx.xx.xxx.xxx bcast=xx.xx.xxx.xxx nmask=255.255.255.0 error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused) Connection to localhost failed I am confused i thought it was supposed to connect using port 901 Again I try to connect ...and it forwards me to the same netscape search. If I try to connect via my ip I get a netscape error "the server may not be accepting connections or may be busy." I have entered swat: 127.0.0.1: ALLOW swat: myip: ALLOw into the hosts.allow Double checked the /etc/lmhost file...127.0.0.1 localhost I ran ps ax looking for the daemon PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? S 0:00 init [5 2 ? SW 0:00 (kflushd) These are missing according to the oreilly boo 234 ? S nmbd -D3 237 ? S smbd -D3 there is nothing on 139 and 901 How do I change this? Running netstat -a I find that 901 is connected but again nothing on 139 Telnetting to 139 confirms this Running testparm Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf Processing section "[test]" Loaded service file ok. Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions All of these steps have been repeated many times services restart machine restarted. Also I don't have a firewall in place as yet. Tried reinstalling samba also...no effect. I am on a cable modem...dhcp. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks
