Why not post the /etc/samba/smb.conf and let someone looksee?

UN saluto a tutti, mi chiamo Giuseppe e sono un nuovo arrivato in lista. Ho un piccolo studio per sviluppo software gestionale con tre pc. Su due pc ho Windows 98 e Windows XP, sul terzo pc invece ho installato Mandrake Linux 9.1 Power Pack. La mia principale necessità è di utilizzarlo come server dei lavori. Senza dilungarmi troppo volevo chiedervi: 1) Ho installato e configurato Samba utilizzando l'interfaccia grafica del KDE. Funziona tutto, riesco dai client win a vedere anche le cartelle condivise ma non riesco ad aprirle ed a scriverci. Eppure mella condivisione ho selezionato writable che, corregetemi se sbaglio, vuol dire scrivibile.

On 98 you have the choice of how you set it up, but I find the easiest to get going is to install the driver on the local machine, then set up samba to use that driver. Use the add-printer wizard on win98, stating that it's a networked printer. It's pretty straightforward - except that you have to find the entry that allows you to change output from EPP (I think it is) to raw. It's also worth electing to automatically connect at bootup (on the win box). HTH Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Its a long time since I used Windows, but don't you have to right click on the printer and select 'Bind to port' or something like that? If you cannot see your Linux machine in Network Neighbourhood then the favourite reason is a Firewall active blocking Samba traffic. Make sure your firewall is disabled. (You can always enable it again later once Samba is working) If you install the 'LinNeighborhood' and 'samba-client' RPMs then you can run LinNeighborhood which works like Network Neighbourhood.

You are not making a connection to your linux box at all, by the look of it, so either the ME box is not within the allowed range of computers, or it has a problem with domain name or passwords.

Hi, I've kind of got Samba working and I've got a couple of questions before I go further. My network is 3 computers: - Windows ME with my HP DeskJet 694C printer - Windows XP on a laptop - Mandrake Linux 9.0 The two Windows machines see each other fine, sharing hard drives and the one printer. The two Windows machines can see the Linux box as a Windows machine with Samba running. The Windows XP machine is capable of logging and mapping a drive to a share based on username. When I connect from the XP machine I get a username/password prompt. When I attempt to connect from the WinME machine, I get a different prompt - no username field. It just says \\servername\IPC$ and a password box. Isn't there someplace where I can set the default user or something, within Samba? If not, how do I get the WinME machine to login to the Linux box, in other words, what username is it requesting? Once I get this working, I'm assuming I'll need to setup CUPS on the Linux machine so it can print back to the Windows ME machine, correct? Thanks in advance!

I do know that I was able to make this all work when I had lprng installed, but that was in a Red Hat installation, and I haven't been able to get lprng running in Mandrake. Here it is again in case you missed it, plus summaries of assistance to date (thank you Anne and Stephen for your efforts): I have Mandrake 9.0, installed just about every package cause I have the space. I have not yet upgraded anything via the upgrade link in the K menu. I have configured Samba (2.2.6-1.0pre2.2mdk) so my two other Win98 machines can see the Linux box and can access shares. I have iptables configured so the two computers can get to the internet. They cannot ping the Linux box, but I may have willfully prevented that. I have configured cups (1.1.16-0.4mdk) so that I can print locally to my antique HP DeskJet 540 printer. I also enabled raw file printing by uncommenting the two related lines in the mime.* files, but only after seeing a complaint about that in the error log. So far, everything works. Except, I can't print from the Win98 machines. Every attempt results in an error stating it cannot convert file 0 to a printable format and hints that ESP Ghostscript is not installed. I just finished compiling and installing ESP Ghostscript 7.05.5, but the error persists. I was unable to find any reference in the local docs or at the cups website that could help. I am assuming I need to tell cups where to find espgs apart for just restarting cupsd, but I'm at a loss how. Or why. Anne suggested I stick with the recommended printer driver when configuring cups. I don't see much difference in performance, but since I am only printing locally, I could be overlooking something, so I did set the driver to the recommended one. Stephen suggested I use Webmin to configure the printer. I did try, but it complained that lpd is not installed. I didn't see that I could tell Webmin not to use it. As I said earlier, I tried to install lprng because I know it works for me, but I couldn't. I tried to compile the source but it complained that /usr/include was not a system directory. I don't think I have an ANSI C compiler, which the web site suggested I use. I could install the RPM after satisfying dependencies, but it wouldn't complete the configuration process, telling me that, as root, I didn't have permission to access a directory or create a file. Hrumph. It's kind of depressing that something as simple as printing could be so hard, especially since it seems this kind of problems shouldn't exist because it's not documented at all. I mean, I jumped through all the hoops I think I should have used, but it still fails. Any suggestions? Is this something I could stump the experts with? Thanks for reading my lenghty diatribe (would be shorter if I didn't use adjectives, I guess). And many thanks for any assistance you can offer.

The ESP Ghostscript comment suggests to me that it is receiving a ps file - do you think that is so? Also, I am certain that I have read somewhere about settings on the windows machine, but so far I haven't remembered where I saw it. It was something on the lines of 'if you have the choice of ECP and EPP' (I think that's right) it suggested the samba did not like one of them, so you should set it to the other.

It was something on the lines of 'if you have the choice of ECP and EPP' (I think that's right) it suggested the samba did not like one of them, so you should set it to the other. I can't remember which, but you could try the opposite one to the one you have now. If I can find the reference I'll post it up. Meanwhile, check out http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO: Sharing a Linux Printer With Windows HTH Anne Hi Anne. The thought of someone thrashing about for me is comforting somehow, but the mental image is pure hilarity. LOL Okay, seriously. To be honest, I'm not sure what is being sent. From what I've read, ESP GS is required to print a raw file, but I don't know why. The error log does indicate that the file is of type application/octet stream, but then it fails. It also fails if I try to print from the Win98 machine to a file, then manually feed that file to cups. Maybe the Windows driver isn't doing working like cups expects, but lpd (Slackware 4-ish) and lprng (Red Hat 7.3) both accept the Windows machine output without complaining. My driver choices were the same - either gimp + print or ghostscript + cdj500 or ghostscript + djet500. One guess I have is that the drivers are not cups natives but come from other sources and so don't function the same in cups. I've forgotten whether you are trying to use local windows drivers or samba to your machine's drivers? The gs+dj500 would be only if it's using your local drivers, I would have thought. But that raises another question: why is cups trying to interpret a raw file? Shouldn't it simply cat the file to /dev/lp0? I'm not sure how raw files are handled, perhaps someone else could comment on that? On ECP and EPP, it's entirely possible the port is in the wrong condition. But I tend to discount this a bit because - as cliche as it sounds - it used to work before cups. You mean you had samba printing set up on these machines some other time/way? I'll check out the link when I get a chance. I've got to do some reconfiguring after downloading and installing all the updates I could grab. Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm a little confused now. BTW - I presume you did check those lines in smb.conf that specify whether you're using win drivers of samba drivers?

I used the Mandrake Update link (well, and gftp because I am tired of downloading the same packages over and over because of network failures) and installed updated versions of both samba and cups (and another 200+MB of other goodies I'd downloaded). I then reconfigured cups, enabling raw file printing and setting the log level to debug. I used the WWW admin tool to configure the printer, then restarted cups. Next came samba. I used swat to configure it, using hints from the links Anne and Derek provided. Then I restarted samba. Printing failed. This time, though it had something to do with samba not having permission to access cups. On a hunch I changed the guest account to lp for the Printers settings and restarted again. For grins, I did reboot the machine. I don't think I needed to, I think it was just my Windows showing. After all, I always get out of my car and get back in if it doesn't run right. Always works. ;) But during the boot I did find that my parallel port is set to EPP. Speaking of Windows, I decided I should start fresh there, too. I removed the printer definition, restarted Windows (it had been running for seconds on end and was ready to die anyway), and installed the printer. I did as Anne had suggested early on; install but do not print a test page, reboot, then print. It was then I actually looked at all the configuration bits and saw I was spooling a file in EMF format and not RAW. That may also have been an issue, but I left it on EMF. And you know what? It did work. My only conclusion is that I had to update samba and/or cups, then do a clean config of both. Thanks to all who offered suggestions. They were all helpful in the end. Great news, Laryry. I'd guess it was the cups update - I seem to remember seeing somewhere that it supported many more printers. Anyway, thanks for all the info - I'm sure it will help someone else later - and ignore my last post with all the questions: they're no longer relevant.

[newbie] Win98 - Samba - CUPS - HP DJ540 still fails
I know this shouldn't be this hard. Maybe it's because I have a very old printer, I don't know. I do know that I was able to make this all work when I had lprng installed, but that was in a Red Hat installation, and I haven't been able to get lprng running in Mandrake. Here it is again in case you missed it, plus summaries of assistance to date (thank you Anne and Stephen for your efforts): I have Mandrake 9.0, installed just about every package cause I have the space. I have not yet upgraded anything via the upgrade link in the K menu. I have configured Samba (2.2.6-1.0pre2.2mdk) so my two other Win98 machines can see the Linux box and can access shares. I have iptables configured so the two computers can get to the internet. They cannot ping the Linux box, but I may have willfully prevented that. I have configured cups (1.1.16-0.4mdk) so that I can print locally to my antique HP DeskJet 540 printer. I also enabled raw file printing by uncommenting the two related lines in the mime.* files, but only after seeing a complaint about that in the error log. So far, everything works. Except, I can't print from the Win98 machines. Every attempt results in an error stating it cannot convert file 0 to a printable format and hints that ESP Ghostscript is not installed. I just finished compiling and installing ESP Ghostscript 7.05.5, but the error persists. I was unable to find any reference in the local docs or at the cups website that could help. I am assuming I need to tell cups where to find espgs apart for just restarting cupsd, but I'm at a loss how. Or why. Anne suggested I stick with the recommended printer driver when configuring cups. I don't see much difference in performance, but since I am only printing locally, I could be overlooking something, so I did set the driver to the recommended one. Stephen suggested I use Webmin to configure the printer. I did try, but it complained that lpd is not installed. I didn't see that I could tell Webmin not to use it. As I said earlier, I tried to install lprng because I know it works for me, but I couldn't. I tried to compile the source but it complained that /usr/include was not a system directory. I don't think I have an ANSI C compiler, which the web site suggested I use. I could install the RPM after satisfying dependencies, but it wouldn't complete the configuration process, telling me that, as root, I didn't have permission to access a directory or create a file. Hrumph. It's kind of depressing that something as simple as printing could be so hard, especially since it seems this kind of problems shouldn't exist because it's not documented at all. I mean, I jumped through all the hoops I think I should have used, but it still fails. Any suggestions? Is this something I could stump the experts with? Thanks for reading my lenghty diatribe (would be shorter if I didn't use adjectives, I guess). And many thanks for any assistance you can offer.

[newbie] Win98 - Samba - CUPS - HPDJ540 fails
Hi All. I'm new to this list, and I've checked the archives and tried all the suggestions I've found, but I am still unable to printfrom either of my two Win98 boxen. My Mandrake 9 machine has most of the packages installed but none are upgraded yet. I'm using kernel 2.4.19.16mdk samba 2.2.6-1.0pre2.2mdk CUPS 1.1.16-0.4mdk The network and firewall functions - all machines can use the internet connection on the Linux box - but pings to the linux box fail. I don't know if it's related, I doubt it, but just in case... I've created smb.conf based on a message in November by Anne Wilson, and my cupsd.conf is based on several messages found here and elsewhere. I can provide them if you like. The error I get is in cups/error-log. It states it is unable to convert file 0 to printable format even though a raw file is sent and application/octet-stream is enabled in both mime.* files. Any thoughts? Should I consider PDQ or find and install some other lp daemon? If so, what print system should I define in Samba?

The printer is attached to the Linux box on /dev/lp0, it's an HP Deskjet 540. I installed it first during installation, where it was automatically detected. I didn't make any drastic changes to the pre-definied settings except to force grayscale. It does print locally and has always printed test pages. According to the Mandrake Control Center (drakconf), wherein I've removed and reinstalled the printer without any problems, the printer is using the recommended Ghostscript + hpijs driver, but I've also tried the CUPS+GIMP-Print v4.2.2 (en) and Ghostscript + [cdj|djet]500 drivers with the same results (local print works, remote from Win doesn't).

As I understand WINE is a WINdows Emulator but I am unsure what that enables me to do, ie just it just make a linux box seem like a Windows box for installing and running Windows applications. In theory therefore M$ Office could be installed and used on linux using WINE? WINE allows me (or you) to run Windows native programs in the linux environment. I can run MS Word by running: wine /mnt/c-drive/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/winword.exe or Solitaire with: wine /mnt/c-drive/windows/sol.exe SAMBA seems to be the networking package between Windows and Linux. It enables printers to be shared and used across a network but it does not allow you the same functionality as WINE. SAMBA allows you to connect to Windows SMB/NMB networks. Workgroups, domains and the likes. It's quite often faster than NFS mounts, and actually quite easy to setup. You can mount shares on Windows machines, as well as setup shares on your linux box that Windows hosts can mount. VMWARE seems to be similar to WINE except that it allows that it allows using a Windows machine across a network and not actually installing M$ software on Linux. I am unsure though if the SAMBA package also needs to be installed for allowing the connections between the connected boxes. VMWare allows you to actually create a virtual machine - an environment that runs in a window - you create a virtual machine, with virtual RAM, a virtual hard drive, and install your preferred OS into that virtual machine - hence allowing you to run WindowsXP in a window - and have virtual networking so that you can share files between the host OS and the virtual machine. VNC allows the use of a remote machine and therefore is a slimmed down version of VMWARE? VNC stands for virtual network computing - it allows you to literally control the keyboard/mouse/screen on a remote computer. It is used generally for support, or for accessing a desktop on another machine on a network. Under linux, you can have a vnc server setup so that when someone connects to your machine with vnc, they have their own linux desktop - without interrupting the already running desktop sessions.

Ciao a tutti, anche io come altri newbie devo collegare il rete due pc sul primo pc sono installati Linux (Mandrake 8.0) e WinNT 4.0 workstation con lilo come boot loader; sul secondo pc è installato WinMe. La rete, WinNt-WinMe, funziona perfettamente a livello di condivisione file,creazione directory efile, stampanti, modem,e quant'altro. I problemi sorgono con Linux-WinMe, o meglio mi sa che ho bisogno di qualche dritta per perfezionare la configurazione. Dopo molto tempo e ricerche sulla documentazione di samba, sono riuscito a vedere da linux il pc winme. Per cominciare lo vedo aprendo Konqueror e immettendo come indirizzo "smb://winme" e da qui vedo le cartelle e i files condivisi sull'altro computer, però solo in lettura, non posso infatti copiare file, modificarli, né tantomeno creare directory. Non posso però sfogliare al rete da risorse di rete perchè mi dà come errore impossibile trovare localhost. Ho letto alcuni messaggi di altri utenti che avevano lo stesso problema, ma non ho letto come si fa, qualcuno potrebbe spiegarmelo? e darmi info sull'indirizzo 127.0.0.1? In contropartita dal lato winme non vedo il pc con linux perchè? Qualcuno può darmi una mano? Alessandro

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients
Thanks to everyone for helpful the advice! As it turned out, my problem was both hardware and software config related. I had to publish the netbios name of the server in the smb.conf file (overlooked) and I had mistakenly connected two workstation patch cords on shared ports of my hub, negating the server when this particular workstation was running as well. Once these issues were resolved, my MDK 9 box had no problems seeing the shares. Oh, well...live and learn. :-) BTW, LinNeighborhood does work well! I am glad it was recommended in the listserv. I do have one question, though it probably is irreverent at this point... All workstations are statically addressed with synched, corresponding 'hosts' and 'lmhosts', as they need apply. Therefore, I do not use a WINS server, or any other names resolving server. Host.conf refers to 'bind' for lookup, if 'hosts' should fail. Bind is not installed or running. Should it be? Is it necessary in a small network where everyone knows who everyone is? Thanks for the help. I feel so-o-o-o-o much better having my little baby up and running!

Hey, Anne, Thanks for being the first to jump into my problem. :-) I think that the bulk of my problem is not understanding how to configure the Samba client. The 'smb.conf' file, as far as the server is concerned, seems pretty straight-forward to me. So, how does the client mount the shares? How did you configure your MDK client? Or was your server also the client (the only Linux machine in the house?) I will look over your smb.conf and try a few changes that make some sense. Thanks, T P.S.

I've just installed LinNeighbourthood, which most people seem to be recommending. On the 8.2 setup I used Komba2. I've got both loaded, now, so I'll try them out when the kids are doing homework! That's the best time to be sure that they are switched on. I thought you said that you could not see the files within the folders, which I took to mean the windows pcs. If you're talking another linux box it shouldn't need samba, should it? I thought samba was just the 'language interpreter' for want of a better phrase, between linux and windows. Obviously I can't try this at the moment, but I would have thought that LinNeighbourhood or Komba2 would be able to see and mount the shares, samba or not. Have you tried either?

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients
I can't remember what I installed as WM's, but if I had any of these on the box, wouldn't at least one of them have shown up as a menu choice or something? Anyway, I will check them out; see what I like. Since Francisco has a good word to give for LinNeighnorhood, I will try that one out first. It just doesn't make sense that my books only speak of hooking Windows machines as clients and nothing about Linux machines as the same. BTW, where does 'lisa' come into this? I thought that was an app that was suppose to give me that Network Neighborhood' capability?

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients
No, I haven't as yet. With Francisco's and Stephen's recommendation as one or both of those choices, I will try one out. I just thought that there would have been a 'native' application or applet within every Linux distro that goes along with the loading of the Samba client to do this. I can see where you can load a client at the console level, but no GUI to do this (I am not even sure that the MCC Mount Drives section is working right, either.) Sorry to have confused you. My Win machines hooked up so easily, it was a dream. I just can't get the Linux boxes to see the insides of the folders. I'll try one of these GUI client/managers and see what happens. Thanks.

The 'smb.conf' file, as far as the server is concerned, seems pretty straight-forward to me. So, how does the client mount the shares? How did you configure your MDK client? Or was your server also the client (the only Linux machine in the house?) I will look over your smb.conf and try a few changes that make some sense. My Linux box is for the moment the only one, so server and client. The others are 2 win98s, 1 w2k and 1 win_me (though that's a laptop that plugs in so rarely I can't vouch for that working properly). I've just installed LinNeighbourthood, which most people seem to be recommending. On the 8.2 setup I used Komba2. I've got both loaded, now, so I'll try them out when the kids are doing homework! That's the best time to be sure that they are switched on. I thought you said that you could not see the files within the folders, which I took to mean the windows pcs. If you're talking another linux box it shouldn't need samba, should it? I thought samba was just the 'language interpreter' for want of a better phrase, between linux and windows. Obviously I can't try this at the moment, but I would have thought that LinNeighbourhood or Komba2 would be able to see and mount the shares, samba or not. Have you tried either?

[newbie] 8.2, Samba and Webmin
I installed 8.2 and I found it great. Samba was configured in a minute and was working perfectly (shares and printers). I do not know why I wanted to have a look to Webmin I just had a tour without changing anything in the "Samba" section From that point, the printer got an "Access Denied, Unable to connect" error (adding "use client driver = Yes" simply removed the warningbut I cannot actually use my Linux printer from my Windows 2000 machine)... and also I cannot write anymore to my shared drives ("Access denied: the source file may be in use" but it is not in use !!!). Any idea how to "undo" what I did in Webmin? Apparently the smb.conf was not modified (I saved a copy of smb.conf of a situation in which Samba was working...) Thanks a lot indeed.

[newbie-it] Samba ..è cambiato qualcosa?
Salve, ho installato mdk8.2, riesco a montare le condivisioni samba del mio vecchio server ma quando provo ad usarle ho dei problemi. Se provo, ad esempio, a lanciare find /mnt/server/documenti -iname *vendite* , dopo aver trovato qualcosa si pianta ed ho un segmentation fault. Poi non riesco più a smontare la condivisione samba, df si inchioda, kill non riesce a killare df, ecc. ecc alla fine non riesco neanche a terminare la corretta procedura di shutdown (samba è ancora lì) devo forzare (alt SysRq S, U , B) il sync l'umount (samba sempre lì) ed il reboot. Al riavvio ...e2fsck ecc. ecc. Ho provato ad usare lo stesso script per montare le condivisioni samba e per cercare i files con linux-bbc (ministribuzione) ed il tutto funziona egregiamente come con il mio vecchio mandrake 8. la sensazione è che il pacchetto samba client abbia un problema o manchi di retrocompatibilità. Ho dato uno sguardo sulla mailing list in inglese e pare che nessuno abbia lamentato lo stesso problema..boh! Salute max ^^^ .-. /v\ Max /( )\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^ ^^

[newbie] Configuring Samba
Sorry if this got posted twice I am finishing the smb.conf file on my Linux machine but I have come upon a problem. I have a couple of user accounts on Linux and I want to connect to them via Win 2k from my home network. When I double click on the Linux computer from Network Neighborhood, I get a popup asking me for my username and password. I supply the correct username and password, but I don't connect. However, if I don't enter a username and password, I will see all of the shares. The question: What do I have to insert into my smb.conf file in order for me to see my users home directories? My smb.conf file follows (don't worry, it's not that big...)

Re: [newbie] Configuring Samba
try creating samba users with the same user name and password as those on your win2k machine using the command: smbpasswd -a username the username also needs to be defined in /etc/passwd (in other words, username has to have a linux system account also) after typing in the above command, you will then be prompted for the password for the user. again, make this the same as your win2k user's password and you should no longer have the problem with win2k asking for a uname and pw...

Re: [newbie] Configuring Samba
Make sure you are using encrypted passwords. If I remember right the steps to do so are as follows: 1) add system accounts for your users to your samba machine 2) run 'mksmbpass' (I think thats the right name) to convert an existing passwd file for use with encrypted password samba 3) use smbpasswd to set the passwords for each account. That should do the trick.
