[Samba] Samba newbie question
All, I am setting up a SAMBA server on a Redhat 8 Linux box. I have gotten it set up and can ping the server and do have SAMBA installed on the machine. I have gotten SWAT set up and can access the SAMBA server on a Windows PC on the network going through SWAT. But, I can't see the SAMBA server yet in my Network Places. I have set up the smb.conf file and changed the workgroup to the right name and have set the hostname for the SAMBA server. I just can't see it. I have disabled the iptables and still can't see it. Then, once I get that far, I am having problems getting the shares setup. I just need one share for a new hard drive that I set up (the server has two hard drives, the 10 GIG is for the LINUX redhat installations, etc...) and the 80 GIG (hdb) is for my SAMBA file server. How do I set the share up with the hdb so I can see it and copy files to it from a Windows box on the same workgroup? Thanks.

Re: [Samba] Samba newbie question
Your situtation seems close to mine awhile back. I could only access the share using the ip address for the host. After starting windbindd the samba server started showing up in the network places/neighborhood. I have not seen any documentation that states that windbind needs to be running in this simple setup and I don't remember any replies to my request to fix and/or understand this problem. Hope this helps though. Fred On Wed, June 28, 2006 9:50 am, Erik Hertzel wrote: Here is the rest, sorry...

[Samba] Samba newbie question
Hello Everyone. I'm having an issue with getting Samba to work correctly and am hoping someone out there may have some helpful advice. My company is a primairly a MS house so I'm fairly new to the Linux world (tired of spending on the other guy's software) and I've really had enjoyed my experiences with it so far...until now. I have a server system that I'm trying to get Samba to work correctly on it and am running into some issues. I've setup two shares on the system- one to be a public share, the other to be restricted to only allow a certain groupd of people. Here's what I'm running into: on my laptop (WinXP Pro), I can see the server in the network neighborhood listing but when I try to access the the system, it pukes out one of the following error messages: the Network path not found or The account is not authorized to login from this system. From what I've read on google, it would seem to be password encryption problem, but after modfying the smb.conf file to allow encrypted passwords, it didn't make a difference. I've worked on this issue for the better part of the last two days and I'm not making any headway. I know the answer is out there, I'm just not seeing it. if anyone has any ideas, they are greatly appreciated.

RE: [Samba] Samba newbie question...
Dave, Pick up Using Samba from O'Reilly. It will definitely give you a great base about how Samba, SMB, NMB and a brief intro into a Samba PDC. Of course, the information is mildly dated, such is the curse of virtually ALL software reference material, but the information can prove to be immeasurable in building a Samba server and Samba PDC. That book will fill you in on all of the required information for getting a basic Samba setup running. You would also want to take a look at the available online documentation that comes included with the release of Samba that you eventually choose. The best thing to do, to become familiar with the whole thing, would be to create a test machine and just start playing around. In order to get Samba and a number of other services that I use up and running, I utilize a number of tools. I typically start off with a GUI configuration tool, as that will get me a working configuration file, then I dive into the file and see how the structure is, which greatly assists in trouble shooting down the road and quick CLI edits at a later time. To do that, I use a combination of Webmin, which has proven very invaluable to me, SWAT and also the CLI. SWAT, which is accessible through Webmin, has a number of useful HOWTOs included within it, there is one on making a Samba PDC and a Samba BDC which ONLY works for a Samba PDC. I wouldn't recommend using SWAT to edit your smb.conf file as it will over write all of the options you may have put down in a working file and it will alter the structure of the file that you have become familiar with. (It happened to me and I was very unhappy with the result.) Much of the other issues, like who and what group gets to write to where is covered by the file permissions in Linux. To learn how to properly implement those, I would recommend picking up the following book, Linux Administration; A Beginner's Guide, unless you are already familiar with Linux and UNIX Administration. It is available at the following Link. http://shop.osborne.com/cgi-bin/osborne/0072131365.html I picked up the Solaris version of this book and it greatly expanded my knowledge of UNIX in general as it is geared towards assisting Windows Admins hone their skills on a UNIX system. It makes some great comparisons that will be immeasurably helpful. (As you can tell, I can't recommend this reference enough.) Of course, if you are already quite familiar with how UNIX and Linux operates, then I must apologize for recommending a beginning guide. Good luck!

RE: [Samba] Samba newbie question...
Robert, Your efforts to help another user are much appreciated. It is this type of help that makes open source software user friendly. The advice to check out the HOWOT information on the SWAT home page is good as this is often more up to date than anything else that has been published. If only we could keep it completely up to date! :) The Samba-Team wrote SWAT to opimise the smb.conf file for a reason. I believe that a configuration file is a poor place for system documentation, particularly if it can affect performance. This does not affect small sites but those with hundreds of MS Windows PC clients will notice a significant problem with unnecessarily large smb.conf files. So having said that, I am looking for input from people who have an opinion they wish to share. What is your wish list for SWAT? What new or improved functionality should SWAT offer to make Samba more usable? Lastly, I am looking for volunteers to help extend/change/improve SWAT. This week is SWAT week for me. Between Wednesday and Friday I hope to overhaul SWAT in the Samba-3.0.0 branch, I would ask for early responses. Please email comments back to this list, and offers to help with specifying and coding to me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will summarize comments back to this list later this week.

RE: [Samba] Samba newbie question...
John, It was initially confusing to see the smb.conf file drastically changed from what I had been used to seeing when I opened it up in my favorite CLI editor. To me, that was mangled, I should have clarified that a bit better. I do understand the need to have as small a smb.conf file as possible for optimized performance. However, it was a spot annoying to skim through the file and find things moved all around on me. Perhaps it is my dislike of having things optimized/configured/altered without being asked. (Which is a big part of my dislike for MS Server and Desktop products and I am sure that is something most other people dislike too.) What I would really like to see is a button that states, If you click this, SWAT will optimize your smb.conf file. Doing so will alter the appearance, placement of options and remove all notes and documentation from the SWAT file. If you have already removed the documentation and have structured the smb.conf file to your liking, you might not wish to click this. Of course, doing so could quite possibly improve the performance of your Samba install, especially if you have hundreds of users. Having something like the above would be a very nice touch. I know that it would have eased my mind to have known, or had a hand in optimizing my smb.conf file. It just didn't sit right with me to see the file so drastically altered from what I had seen previously. I haven't checked the wizard options in Samba 2.2.6 or 2.2.7. In at least the 2.2.5 release of Samba, the only method I clearly saw to configure a PDC was by manually editing the smb.conf file. Which isn't a problem, however, it can be a little easier to see all of the PDC options right there in front of you, within a GUI tool. I will be upgrading to Samba 2.2.7 very soon. I just need to perform some testing to make sure that the transition will be very smooth for my network. When I am able to focus on testing 2.2.7, I will take a look at the wizard option and I will be able to offer some opinions. Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I could have been previously.

On Mon, 25 Nov 2002, Robert Adkins wrote: John, One thing that I would love to see in Swat would be an area to configure a PDC and or a BDC (For another Samba PDC.) Do you mean just to build an smb.conf file that will NOT be in use on the machine you ran SWAT on? Have you checked the Wizard option in samba-2.2.6/2.2.7? Opinions? Recommendations? The only other thing that I would like to see is that SWAT leaves the smb.conf file in some kind of structured state. I was left with a working smb.conf file, but it was mangled and I had some issues with seeing where SWAT moved some of my settings. Please help me to understand what you mean by mangled and structured. Have you used 'testparm' to validate you smb.conf file. It produces all output in the internal structure SWAT will use to re-write the optimized smb.conf file. All Domain related flags in one section (perhaps flagged DOMAIN Components) I really would just like to see all of the flags for a related section broken up from a long listing of all the flags and separated with some kind of identifier. (It doesn't have include documentation.) In fact, I removed all the documentation in the smb.conf file I created and just left the parts broken up in my own file. Why is this needed? You can always use 'testparm' to output all options and their settings. Why not keep smb.conf as a fully optimised file with only settings that differ from the samba default? Perhaps SWAT could include a little check box to optimize the file, removing all non-essential text and putting everything into a single list and perhaps have another that will break up the list into logical sections. It makes it much easier for trouble-shooting from afar if you need to ssh into the server. I understand what you are trying to do, why is this better than using 'testparm'?

Robert, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Your comments will be taking into account as SWAT gets hacked up this week. In particular I will make sure that SWAT will issue a warning about file optimization. Good suggestion. I think you hit the sore spot right on the head. It is the surprise element that annoys people. I had not thought about it enough before your explanation. If you or anyone else has any further wish-list items for SWAT please let me have them really soon. This will be acted on this week for samba-3.0.0 as we want to get this new update ready for release within the next month or two.
