I am using Samba 3.0.33 on Linux as the server, and have Linux,
windows XP, and Windows Vista clients.
I would suggest that until you have a basic working setup that you test
using a Linux client (smbclient), it doesn't have all of the fancy stuff
(cached credentials, etc) that will just confuse things. Are the XP and
Vista clients home/pro/business/ultimate/etc? Home is a bit quirky under
some circumstances.
I have added user 'brandon003' with smbpasswd, I try logging in with
that username and the correct password but I get a message in Windows
saying that I do not have permissions.
What do you mean logging in? Does the Windows machine have a user with
the same name and password as the samba box? or are you prompted for
credentials when browsing to the share?
My smb.conf file is a bit messy since I have been trying many
different variations, but here it is:
[global]
Yuck, trim this back to basics. You have a lot of junk in there that you
really don't need and which will just confuse matters.
I just put this config file onto one of my 3.0.23 machines (yeah it's a
bit outdated):
[global]
workgroup = foo
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = no
and then ran "smbpasswd -a mike" (where mike is a user that exists on my
Vista box), set the password the same as my vista logon and it works fine.
Once you have the basics, make a backup and then add things one at a
time until you have all the functionality you require.
