Re: [Samba] Mac client

[Mike McGonagle]

Are the Mac files using any ILLEGAL Windows characters? The Mac pretty
much allows any character in a filename, as long as it is escaped
properly, while Windows can't handle things like...

? [ ] / \ = + < > : ; " ,

The Mac will pretty much allow any of them to be used in a filename.

[Samba] Windows, Mac OS X, Debian Etch, and Samba

[Mike McGonagle]

Hello all,

I am setting up a Linux Server to handle FTP and File Sharing. I
figured that since Mac OS X (10.4) no longer supports Appletalk, that
I would set up Samba on the Linux Server and access it from the Mac
and the Windows machines.

I started with the Samba3 By Example setup for the Charity
Administration, and came up with this for a smb.conf file:

*
[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
printing = CUPS
printcap name = CUPS
map to guest = Bad User
show add printer wizard = No
wins support = Yes

[share]
comment = Print, FTP, & Mail Server
path = /home
read only = No
force user = theuser
force group = theuser
guest ok = Yes
nt acl support = No

[printers]
comment = Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
use client driver = Yes
browseable = No
*

So, now I try to connect from the Windows machine (running XP), and it
recogizes that this server is running "Samba 3.024(Memory)", as it
shows up under the network stuff. BUT, when I try to log in, it says
that "\\Memory is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions. -- The network path was not
found."

Also, when I try to mount the server from the Mac, using the "Connect
to server" and entering in the url "smb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (with x.x
being filled in with the actual IP of the machine), it returns the
message "Could not connect to the server because the name or password
is not correct." I also tried "smb://192.168.x.x", and still got the
same thing.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike McGonagle
