First thing I thought of, too. Also try and avoid underscores ("_");
use a dash ("-") instead. Somewhere along the way, support for an
underscored changed, I'm told, altho have not personally experienced.

RE: [expert] SAMBA help PLEASE!!!
Windows logs into Samba utilizing the USERNAME and PASSWORD you enter when Windows first comes up. You must FIRST create "Linux" user accounts on your machine, using the same naming. Then use "smbpasswd -a USERNAME" for EACH Linux Account. Also make sure that SAMBA and your Windows machines are members of the same workgroup, (assuming you are not using Domains)... E.G. the spelling must be the same all CAPS for safety. Restart samba "service smb restart" Then try the logins locally on your Linux box... "smbclient -L LINUX_BOX_NETBIOS_NAME -U WINDOWS_USER" Where LINUX_BOX_NETBIOS_NAME is the Netbios name you gave your Samba server in /etc/smb.conf and WINDOWS_USER, is the LOGIN NAME you use AT YOUR WINDOWS MACHINE! Samba should ask for a password. Give it the same password you use at your windows machine. If this works, reboot Windows and map to the Samba shares. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert Boggs Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 6:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] SAMBA help PLEASE!!!

Re: [expert] SAMBA help PLEASE!!!
Robert, Send me your /etc/smb.conf file, along with a summary of your network setup, and I will see what I can do for you. I'm pretty good with Samba integration into a Windows network. Feel free to change user names, passwords, IP addresses, whatever, if you are concerned about security. But if you change anything, be consistent, i.e., if you substitute "john" for "dave" once, do it the same everywhere.

I recommend either SWAT or webmin for setting up your samba *server*. They're both web-based tools. Webmin may be slightly easier, while SWAT is feature-complete. -- Asheesh.

Re: [expert] SAMBA Help Please...
on second thought, even if samba will start you won't be able to access it if it only have the loopback IP. you can add an IP by copying '/etc/sysconfig/netword-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' (if you're connecting through ethernet. if not use the device your connecting through) to '/etc/sysconfig/netword-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0' (again, with the right device), editing it, and then running 'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup etho' (...replace eth0 with the correct device...). I don't remember if it's eth0:0 or eth0:1. try them both.

Hi you didn't change /etc/hosts correctly. first add this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost and then add another line with: Tesla. Tesla this should solve the problem.

Re: [expert] SAMBA Help Please...
When I type nslookup Tesla I get the following response: *** Can't find server name for address "my DHCP assigned IP#":Server failed *** Default servers are not available Resolv.conf has only the following written in it: nameserver "My DHCP assigned IP#" Also some people have suggested to just run smbclient or smbmount. Neither worked. SMBD and NMBD are still not running even though I changed my /etc/hosts file to read 127.0.0.1 Tesla.localdomain localhost What is wrong here? Why can'y I get SAMBA to work correctly for me. I don't remember having this much trouble the last time I ran Linux.(Mandrake 6.1 about a year ago) Thanks in advance. SA >From: "Albert E.

Looks like a DNS issue. What happens when you type nslookup Tesla? What are your settings for name resolution?

In that case, you don't really need to use your SMB/NMB servers. You need to use smbmount (mount -t smbfs) or smbclient to access your files on your NT share from your linux box. mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password //ntserver/sharename /your/linux/mnt/point smbclient //ntserver/sharename (with user and pass as needed). smbclient uses LOGNAME, so if you have an account with that name on the NT box, you should be OK, and it will prompt you for your password. -- Craig Sprout Network Administrator Crown Parts and Machine http://www.crownpartsandmachine.com

Re: [expert] SAMBA Help Please...
Please do not use html in your messages. I use a mail client that only displays plain text, so all your html formatting just looks like gobbledygook to me, and makes it very difficult to read. That said... I also use dhcp on my laptop. In this case, all you need to do is add the line: 127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost to your /etc/hosts file. The 127.0.0.1 IP address is assigned to "localhost" by default, but it can also be given to your actual host and domain name. Your dhcp client daemon will also automatically add an entry with your current IP address and host name. If you see it there, leave it. If not, don't worry about it.

gethostbyname requires a valid forward lookup. The quickest solution to his is to add your machine to /etc/hosts. 192.169.12.234 tesla tesla.domain.net loghost You also might want to double check that your DNS is set up correctly.

Re: [expert] SAMBA help please.
Can you find your Linux box from another PC on the network? Have you checked the Samba logs? I ran into a problem where Samba was unable to resolve my host name (the error msg was in the logs). I had to add it to /etc/hosts, and then everything started working fine. Dave At 06:50 AM 02/13/2001 -0600, you wrote: >Sorry if this is the wrong place to discuss this.

Re: [expert] SAMBA help please.
Hi first, you can check with '/etc/init.d/smb status' to see if they are running (probably not). now go to '/var/log/samba' (as root) and check the logs. chances are that you'll find in the logs why the process doesn't start (e.g. a dns problem).
