Thanks to Paul Gienger, I've made some progress diagnosing my samba problems. Paul suggested that I needed to install the samba-client package to fully test my setup. I have now done that.
I am trying to share files between a Linux system running Fedora Core 2 (named Wintergreen) and a Windows 2000 Professional system (named Internet-2000). I am not yet able to share files, although the W2K machine can see the Linux box. The key error message I am getting on the W2K machine is "The Server service is not started." I have gone through the Samba Checklist to try to figure out what is wrong. Here are the results I've gotten from the checklist (it's long). I've also attached my smb.conf file to this e-mail. 1. The output of testparm looks healthy: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[tmp]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] server string = Samba Test Server interfaces = eth0, lo log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes 2. I can ping each machine from the other using IP addresses. I can ping the W2K machine from the Linux machine by the machine name (because I put the W2K machine name and IP address into /etc/hosts). 3. When I run the command "smbclient -L Wintergreen" on the Linux box, I am asked for a password. I type in the root password and get the error message "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE". When I enter no password at all (this was not obvious), the command succeeds and I get the following output: Anonymouse login successful Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.3-5] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- tmp Disk Temporary file space IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Test Server) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Test Server) Anonymouse login successful Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.3-5] Server Comment --------- ------- WINTERGREEN Samba Test Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP WINTERGREEN 4. When I type the command "nmblookup -B Wintergreen __SAMBA__", I do indeed get the IP address of the server. 5. When I type the command "nmblookup -B Internet-2000 '*'", I do indeed get the IP address of the W2K machine. 6. When I type the command "nmblookup -d 2 '*'", I get the following output: added interface ip=192.168.0.4 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 querying * on 192.168.0.255 querying * on 127.255.255.255 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.0.4 ) 192.168.0.4 *<00> The fact that I only got one positive response bothers me. I should probably have gotten a response from the W2K machine (192.168.0.7). 7. When I type the command "smbclient //Wintergreen/tmp", I am prompted for a password. When I enter the password, I get the error message "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE". However, when I don't enter a password (I just press Enter), the anonymous login succeeds and I get a "smb :\>" prompt. The dir and get commands work. When I try the put command, I get the error message "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \test.txt". 8. On the W2K machine, I typed "net view \\Wintergreen" in a DOS window, and I got the following error message: "The Server service is not started." 9. On the W2K machine, I typed "net use x: \\Wintergreen", and I got the following two error messages: "System error 67 has occurred." and "The network name cannot be found." 10. The command "nmblookup -M WORKGROUP" succeeded on the Linux machine. 11. When I used Internet explorer to try to look at the Linux machine, I got the following error messages: "\\Wintergreen is not accessible" and "The Server service is not started." Thanks for any help you can provide. David Levner --- Paul Gienger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David Levner wrote: > > >the name of the Linux machine.
