Reboot? Hopefully you meant restart, an in: /etc/init.d/smb restart (or the equiv command on your box).

Or show up at one of the GNHLUG meetings, and you'll likely find someone willing to burn you a copy of whatever you want for free (or maybe cost of media). I can understand when people don't want to upgrade a network based on proprietary software; it can cost thousands and thousands of dollars, even on a very small network. But for what you're describing, the cost of a brand new version of Linux should basically be free. It's worth it.

It may be that Samba is attempting to start but failing. Try: testparm The above will test your Samba configuration file. If it complains of problems, fix them. Try: smbclient -L //localhost That should list the shares on the local Samba server. If it fails, post the error message. If it works, at least part of Samba is working.

You must use encrypted passwords in Samba. Windows above 95 use encrypted passwords. (And, patched versions of Windows 95 can use them too.) You would have to edit the registry on each of the Windows boxes to make them work with unencrypted paswords. It's easier to just enable encrypted passwords. The passwords can be blank, but the encryption still needs to be on. You must also add users to Samba. You must add a Linux user first (useradd USERNAME) and then add a Samba user (smbpasswd -a USERNAME). If you want a blank password, use this command: smbpasswd -a -n USERNAME (The -n means no password. The -a means add Samba user.) To check your version of Samba, use this command: smbd -V To check the status of Samba connections, use this: smbstatus Hope this helps. -- Dan Jenkins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA --- 1-603-624-7272 *** Technical Support for over a Quarter Century ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
