 and am using samba 3.0.2a on both boxes.  Have tried
 linneighbourhood,  smb4k (which dont work at all) and gnome samba
 browser with the same results. The only diferences between these two
 boxes is one has mandrake 10 CE and the other has mandrake 10
 official.

The exact error message is
SMB connection failed

The password it is asking for is the NETBIOS password for that user. The 
NETBIOS password has to be defined in the server with the command (as root)

smbpasswd -a user_name

The Netbios password does not have to be the same as the Linux logon password 
although you may find it less confusing if you make them the same.

 Dunno why you're having such major probs with Samba; and sorry to
 say, have you RTFM? I can get Samba up and running in literally no
 time at all; either as a normal Windows sharing system or as a domain
 controller; using SWAT through Webmin and it's interface, or either
 by manually editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf - it truly isn't all that
 hard especially if you use SWAT.

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

 (BTW, the Samba mailing list is a great place to bounce things around
 as well)

Found the problem,  it seems that I had to log into kde as root go into 
kcontrol and set the netbios name in the samba configuration section.
Now even smb4k works.
I will have a look at the samba mailing list though as I now have to get 
a XP box to connect.

Thanks for the help guys.

[newbie-it] Samba

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. Tutte le volte che dalle Risorse di Rete di windows clicco
sulla cartella condivisa in Mandrake, mi chiede una password che io però non
ho o *non credo* di aver mai impostato. Facendo riferimento alla
configurazione grafica di Samba, sapreste dirmi dove devo andare a
verificare ciò ?

2) Esiste una qualche applicazione che da win possa farmi delle copie dei
miei lavori direttamente sul server LInux ?

3) OLtre alla cartella SAMBA, l'esplorer di Mandrake mi fa vedere anche una

Go into MS explorer on XP and find your Linux box. Then go to the
printer and double click on it, this will ask for drivers which you need
to install and it will then appear in your printers. Not sure about 98
as never done it but could be the same.

The default samba configuration will do as you want 'out of the box'.
All you 
need change is the workgroup name in  your /etc/samba.smb.conf file.

If you prefer using a GUI install the drakwizard RPM and then your
Mandrake 
Control Centre will have a new entry for a Samba server wizard which
will 
make the edit for you.

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).

At this pount you should be able to see your Linux computer in the Windows 
'Network Neighboourhood' together with its printer. Then it is just a matter 
of selecting that to be the default printer for Windows. 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 will see all the 
Windows computers and the Linux computer/printer.

It's not immediately obvious, though it seems to me that your basic setup must 
be pretty close to what you need, or you wouldn't have the result on the XP 
machine.  I know from my lan that ME doesn't need anything particularly 
different, so that leaves only two possibilities, I think.  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.  Windows does complicate matters by being 
unpredictable in its handling of cases.  Is the workgroup capitalised on the 
ME box?

I'll put my global section below, so that you can compare and try any 
amendments that look possible.  It feels to me as though it couldn't be in 
any other section, if it is at the linux end at all.  HTH

Hm,

When I changed from security = user to security = share the Windows ME
machine was instantly able to connect and see the Linux shares EXCEPT FOR
the one share that was named the same as the Win ME logged in user on the
Win ME machine...

The strange thing is that the Win ME user was specifically created as a
Samba user and has the same password as on the ME machine.

Yes, I'm behind a firewall and I'm restricted by IP address to the local
network- the Win ME machine is definitely allowed...

I must be close to having this working... I'm sure I'm just dancing around
the correct solution/configuration.

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!

Here it is again in case you missed it, plus summaries of assistance to

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.

 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?

On Thursday 30 Jan 2003 4:37 am, Larry Williams wrote:
 Yippee!  Yahoo (uh oh, is that a registered trademark?)

 I am now successful in printing from my Windows machines.

 What did I do?  Upgraded.

 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

2003-01-28 Per discussione Larry Williams

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.

[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?

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Hi, Larry.  It's usually best to fix one problem at a time :)  So, which is 
most urgent for you?

I don't know much about firewall issues - my router takes care of that for me, 
so someone else will advise you there.  It sounds to me as though that might 
be a good part of the issue.

Also, is the printer physically attached to the linux box or some other?  Can 
you print from the local printer?  Is there no success at all, or is it 
networked printing that's the problem?  What model printer is it. and how did 
you install it?

Hi Anne.

The printer is more urgent since all three computers can access the Internet.  
I just included the ping bit in case it was related.

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).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Anne.

Yes, I've done this as well.  Before I installed Mandrake 9 I was using Red 
Hat 7.3.  It came with lprng and CUPS, and I couldn't get CUPS to work then 
either.  But lprng worked just fine.  I thought I could go get lprng and put 
it on Mandrake, but I ran into roadblocks: The source won't compile because 
(I believe) I'm not using an ANSI C compiler (just gcc that came with 
Mandrake) and the RPM is too specific to Red Hat and I couldn't get the 
dependencies to load (one was older than an existing package and the two 
necessary libraries aren't part of the new package).

So unless I can upgrade my printer (which may happen in the next month along 
with a system upgrade), I'm open to alternative print spoolers, or PDQ if I 
can properly configure Samba.

Thanks,
Larry

 Hmm.  I kind of thought that.  Do you know if there is an alternative to CUPS 
 then?  I guess I can use PDQ, but I'm not sure how to tell Samba to use it.
 
 Thanks,
 Larry
 

Sometimes you can use WEBMIN to bypass the BS with either LPD or CUPS
printing...and it does have it's own proprietary drivers - and works
like a charm - WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS...

Re: [newbie] WINE, SAMBA, VMWARE and VNC

2003-01-05 Per discussione Stephen Kuhn

On Sun, 2003-01-05 at 23:50, Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote:
Hi all,
 
 I, like a few others I am sure, need some clarification on the above
 packages.
 
 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.


HTH!
Cheers for the New Years!

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=komba2submit=Search+...

questo per komba2

per quanto riguarda samba 
allora 
dentro la configurazione di sambraserver 
vai su windows networking e controlla che  la tua security sia Share level
default service  = global

poi devi controllare nella dir che esporti 
io per esempio metto ( anche se rischioso) force user root
available yes browseable yes
nella parte security writable yes
guest acces yes
insomma cerca di dare tutti i permessi ...poi restringi il campo.. ricordati di uscire e dare riavvia server  
per rendere effettive le modifiche

sono stato un po' disordinato ...ma non è facile.. al limite potresti , se ti va...e si potrebbe controllare da remoto

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

è configurare la macchina 22k in dominio che non ne vuol sentir parlare!

R: R: [newbie-it] samba: che posso sbagliare??

grazie...ma ancora nulla :-(

allora...
le informazioni in global..sono praticamente uguali alle mie

tranne:

1: un discorto di True e Yes...ma credo vadano bene entrambi
2: admin users...che non l'ho mai visto nemmeno nei commenti
   volevi dire: domain guest group ???

Poi...credo che il problema stia nella gestione degli utenti ed account dei
pc
Perchè non mi lascia impostare il dominio di un pc w2k, dicendomi che non
riconosce
nome utente e password...

Ma la cosa strana è che appena provo ad impostare il dominio, mi esce una
maschera dicendo

Impossibile trovare un account per il computer nel dominio workgroup..

inserire nome pc
inserire nome dominio

ma io l'utente pippopc$ l'ho inserito sia in smbpasswd che in GNU/linux!!!
con gruppo machine...può essere importante maiscuolo o minuscolo (cmq ho
provato in entrambi i casi)

sbaglio procedura per inserire un account machine??

aiuto:-(

ciao

francesco

 con la RH 7.2  Funziona a meraviglia e tutti i client winzozz (circa 70)
 si autenticano ad esso. Spero che ti sia di aiuto altrimenti ti mando
 un altro file di una RH 7.2 ma non PDC, semplicemente un file server,ok?
 Di seguito il file di configurazione :

Per Windows XP e 2000 devi impostare os level =64 ed aggiungere la riga 
sotto.

os level = 64
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine 
Account' -s /bin/false -M %u

Comunque trovi la documentazione su Mandrakeuser.org nella doc section.

64 serve per far si che la tua macchina samba diventi PDC, se hai

Se li metti in smb.conf ogni volta che aggiungi una macchina e la vuoi 
legare al dominio lo fa in automatico, altrimenti devi ogni volta darlo 
da riga di comando.

Mi viene in mente un'altra cosa, hai impostato un utente amministratore 
in samba? Hai convertito gli utenti linux in utenti samba (ad es. con 
webmin)?

Installa il pacchetto webmin dai tuoi cd di MDK, lancialo da un browser 
con https://localhost:1 e ti si aprira` un interfaccia grafica per 
configurare qualsiasi programma tu abbia sul PC Linux, e cosa ancora piu` 
bella lo puoi amministrare da qualsiasi PC collegato a quello, perfino 
dall'altra parte del mondo se e` attaccato ad internet!

ragazzi...nulla...
non capisco proprio perché non riesca a riconoscermi l'utente!
cavolo...cosa mi frega??
non credo ci siamo molti passaggi per fare questa semplice cosa!

1. imposto 2 utenti in GNU/linux
   pippo
   pippom$  ( pippo machine)

2. imposto 2 utenti in smbpassword
   smbpasswd -a pippo
   mi chiede password e io la imposto
   smbpasswd -a -m pippom (qui non chiede password)

3. imposto quei tre valorini che mi servono per fare da PDC in smb.conf

4. provo a configurare la mia macchina pippom in dominio...ma nulla!
   utente non riconosciuto e non mi lascia impostare il dominio

Per la cronoca...la condivisione della cartelle funziona...se io vado in
risorse di rete
vedo quello che ho deciso di vedere!


arggg

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients

2002-12-01 Per discussione Technoslick

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!

the server. What makes this a concern to me is that I can see and use the
shares off of all of my Windows PCs, which are made up of Win 2K, Win XP and
Win 98 SE. I can see them from my MDK 9.0 box, just can't see anything
within.

Here's a condensed version of my 'smb.conf', with all the commented out

workgroup = WORKGROUP
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

# the loopback interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.

# update the Linux system password also.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only
# the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
# to be kept in sync with the SMB password.
unix password sync = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
# You can use PAM's password change control flag for Samba. If
# enabled, then PAM will be used for password changes when requested
# by an SMB client instead of the program listed in passwd program.
# It should be possible to enable this without changing your passwd
# chat parameter for most setups.
pam password change = yes
# This parameter will control whether or not Samba should obey PAM's
# account and session management directives. The default behavior is
# to use PAM for clear text authentication only and to ignore any
# account or session management. Note that Samba always ignores PAM

obey pam restrictions = yes
# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients

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. Thanksgiving was a a great change of pace! More of thatlater. ;-)

You can mount the share though either MCC (Drive mount), or get
LinNeighborhood, Gnomba, (you already have XFSamba on your box if you
installed all the wm's with MDK 9), Komba, KSamba-plugin, GSmb...

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?

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?
