Re: [Samba] samba and dhcp

[Hidong Kim]

Thanks,

I've turned off ipchains and iptables. Here's the global section of /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
os level = 33
preferred master = True
local master = No
domain master = False
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
guest account = smbuser
interfaces = 192.168.230.1/24
hosts allow = 192.168.230. 127.



I added the interfaces line according to your suggestion. I'm not sure if this is correct. The Samba server laptop is getting an IP address of 192.168.230.37. I still can't start samba. "ps aux" shows nmbd -D, but no smbd. The strange thing is that the icon for the Samba server appears in the Windows 2000 Network Neighborhood. But when I click on the icon, I get an error window saying that the network path was not found. I'm trying to set up this laptop as a Samba server so that I can share files with a virtual Windows 2000 machine I set up in VMware on this laptop. This configuration of native Red Hat running Samba with guest OS Windows 2000 is something that I've been running for a long time on a desktop Red Hat machine. For some reason, I can't get it working on this laptop. Thanks,

why it should *not* be ok.

set up several Red Hat machines as Samba servers. They all have static IP addresses. I want to have a Red Hat 8.0 laptop which gets its IP address by DHCP running as a Samba server. I usually start Samba with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start". When I do this on the laptop, it says

u can also use
service smb start|stop|status

that smb and nmb start OK. But when I do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status" on the laptop, it says that smbd is stopped and nmbd is running. When I

seems, that u have a config problem / look at the log scripts

smb.conf in rh8.0 lays under /etc/samba/smb.conf

do "smbclient -L localhost" on the laptop, it says that connection is refused to 127.0.0.1. I've tried installing Samba 2.2.7a from source,

look @ smb.conf (interfaces?)
did u install the rh firewall? in 1 situation on our rh machines rh-firewall did refuse all netbios ports...

and installing Samba 2.2.5 from RPMS. I still can't start smbd. Thanks for any suggestions,
