[newbie] samba problem
Hi, I have samba server running, but I can't connect to any other win server's neither can they connect to my server. I have tried to configure it with MCC samba wizard, but it fails when it asks for allowed users and I have tried to configure it with SWAT, but I cant get it to work. :'( I added my smb.conf file as attachment.

Thanks! The trouble with using SWAT is that it replaces the original Mandrake config file which is heavily annotated and has defaults which work out of the box. I suggest you replace your config file with the default you will find at /usr/share/samba/smb.conf.clean and then start again from there. Reading the default config file will give you a lot of hints. Before users can connect to their home directories on your server you must execute the command smbpasswd -a user_name where user_name is a logon name that exits in both windows and Linux environments. You will be prompted for the *Windows* password of that user which does not have to be the same as that users Linux password. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have a modem that connects to the internet. the other computer computer is running WindowsXP. Could someone help me. THx Firstly, I am NO expert on networking stuff! Hell, it took me 5 days to get ICS, Samba, NFS and a decent firewall working correctly. Heh, when I finally did get everything going I quickly backed up the /etc dir! If you're using MDK9.0 then I think its something to do with shorewall (firewall). Enabling ICS installs shorewall. I read numerous accounts of people with network problems in MDK9.0. I have only a small lan (2 PCs) and connect to the net via dialup modem. I fiddled with so many config files that I don't know what I actually did (if anything) to fix it. Couldn't figure out how to configure shorewall (even after reading the docs ; ) and belive me, I tried) so I downloaded and installed guarddog and used that to allow services for my lan. Trouble is, shorewall had setup iptables and I think guarddog just adds to what is already running in iptables so effectively I have both shorewall and guarddog running. If I stop both and start either one, there's always something that won't work so I guess I haven't configured guarddog properly yet. Once you have configured everything you could try stopping all relative services (ie. smb, named, dhcpd, shorewall, portmap, nfs, nfslock, etc) and take the network down (ifdown ethX), then restart them. In which case, I'd first start the firewall then bring the network back up (ifup ethX). Then start named, dhcpd, etc. One thing I noticed was that either dhcp or shorewall (can't remember which) was working with the wrong network address. My network is 192.168.0.0 but one of them kept using 192.168.1.0. Oh, and another thing I read somewhere at MandrakeForum is that it is IMPERATIVE to configure your network BEFORE enabling ICS otherwise you run into problems. So I reinstalled and configured the network (as usual) during installation and once the system was running I added the IP address for PC#2 in /etc/hosts and enabled ICS - WRNGG! It seems that configuring your network during installation isn't enough and that you must use MCC Network Internet Connection and then enable ICS via MCC Network Internet Connection Sharing. AND I had to use manual configuration and expert NOT auto configuration. AND I found that adding my ISPs first DNS Server address in there worked. Like I said, I'm no expert but I had big hassles getting it sorted and got rather confused in the process. If this isn't your problem, I'm sorry for wasting bandwith. Hopefully it might help someone.

RE: [newbie] Samba problem!
Boy you certainly dive nto the deep end don't you? When you install samba from RPMs, which is what I assume you have done from your earlier posts, you have all the files installed for you in the appropriate places. The configuration file you are referring to is /etc/smb.conf and contains a lot of fairly standard configuration options that can be switched on by removing a semi-colon. It isn't quite as straight forward a package as you seem to be assuming however and I would guess that you have a bit of research and effort to undertake yet. Once again, check in /usr/share/doc/samba-verNo and see what docs have been installed. Frankly I don't see you installing and making samba work in a n/w without going through the docs supplied with the package. Learned though some of the people on this list are - not to mention helpful, they aren't going to wave a magic wand for you. It is possible to answer specific queries as to why something doesn't work but to be honest, IMHO, you're not going to get samba up and running without an effort on your part first. If you are short of docs, or packages then www.samba.org is the place to look. If you have RPMS available on cdrom then you require three RPMs, the server, the common files and the client. If you are going to compile from sources then I believe v 2.1 is the lowest version that will deal properly with NT.

RE: [newbie] Samba problem!
Just look at the /etc/smb.conf file it's got a ton of examples and get your company to go buy you Using Samba (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565924495/qid=995029338/sr=2-1/ref= aps_sr_b_1_1/103-6289178-7490252) it is definitely worth the $30. If they don't buy it for you, go buy it for yourself. Other than that post your questions... I assume you have it installed. The first thing after that is to make sure the the 'workgroup' attribute is set to your NT workgroup, by default it's set to MDKGROUP. Then you need to decide if you want to use encrypted passwords or clear-text. What I would suggest is to use encrypted password and create usernames specifcially for the shares you want to allow access to. For example, if you want a marketing share add a user to the server called 'marketing', then use 'smbpasswd -a marketing' it'll prompt you for a password just like the passwd utility does. Then in the /etc/smb.conf uncomment the lines: encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd Then specify your share: [marketing] path = /shares/marketing public = yes only guest = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = marketing creation mask = 0744 directory mask = 0755 Finally, samba should pick up this new configuration in about 60 seconds. If you don't want to wait you can SIGHUB the smbd process. If you just want to totally restart samba, use the comment '/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart' When the marketing guy goes to access the share on linux it'll prompt him for a username and password and he can enter the 'marketing' username/password. This will save you from having to send clear-text passwords on your network, and save you from having to add every user to you linux server. Otherwise, get the book and configure samba to use NT authentication, then you don't have to worry about usernames on the linux system since samba will validate agains the PDC. ps: there is no browser for samba, unless I'm misunderstanding what you are wanting.

Re: [newbie] Samba problem!
Hey Mark,...Couldn't he use samba restart also? From a normal prompt ? If he's looking for a Linux browser for samba he could also use xsmbrowser or LinNeighborhood. But if he's trying to browse from Windows, then you're bang on the money about Windows Explorer. He might also want to run webmin on the linux box so that he can manage samba remotely on the network. Just a few things that have paid off time and again for me.

So, people tweak with the registry files or something. I don't know how it's done, exactly, though. As above.

Re: [newbie] Samba problem
You can probably create a new user on your windows machine, and log on using the username for your linux system. This is a windows issue, because windows doesn't have any provision for using login/passwd, unless you're using NT. So, people tweak with the registry files or something. I don't know how it's done, exactly, though. --M On Thu, 13 Jan 2000, you wrote: On Wed, 12 Jan 2000 14:41:23 -0500, you wrote: I'm trying to run Samba on my Mdk6.1 system. I've got the client working A-OK (smbmount will connect to my Windows box fine), but I can't get the server-side working. When I look in my Windows Network Neighborhood thing it lists the Mandrake machine, but when I try to view the shares I configured it says asks me for a password for the resource \\SERVER\IPC$ which I'm lost at. The username and password that you are logged on as on the wondows box must match a user name and password on the linux box. That user must also have access rights to the shared drive or directory on the linux box. I looked in /var/log/samba and smb.log says this: - smbd version 2.0.5a started.
