To Makund and
Rafiu,
Just wanted to
report that I finally got samba browsing working and working with LDAP users as
well. It was something very small and might be a bug. My situation
was that I had gotten LDAP working with LAM, got OpenFiler configured with the
same info and was able to see my users and groups in Openfiler. I got vg,
volumes, shares, services and quotas setup. However, even with guest
access turned on, when I tried to "browse" from a windows client I didn't find
anything and it said it couldn't connect to the host. However,
using sbmclient on the same computer (cygwin port), would connect and
get the list of shares without a problem. In the end, the problem
turned out to be the "security" configuration in the /etc/samba/smb.conf
file. It was set to "ads" (active directory server) instead
of "user". Once I made that change and HUP'd the sbmd, I was
immediatly able to browse to all of my shares. I then went back and
implement various user restrictions which then required a valid LDAP user
and password to access.
My guess is
that it got set to that right after install. I had
read that I could change the workgroup by entering it into
the "Domain" field in the windows domain controller field. However, I
missed the part that I DIDN'T have to check the box to activate that
section. That it would just read the domain value anyway. So I had
checked it then went back and unchecked it. Should something be
going back and changing the "security" line in smb.conf if I'm not using
ADS?
