Re: [ubuntu-uk] Samba Shares
I couldn't get the tool to work either, I haven't experimented with Meercat yet, I installed 4 on a Lucid installation - finally, I copied over my old manually-typed smb.conf and it sorta worked OK ;) Gotta say, my brush with it inspired me with trepidation but I'm sure it'll get sorted out anon. I found FreeNAS annoying - I don't know FreeBSD and so I could get an Ubuntu file server set up in a fraction of the time - and it's relatively hellish getting it running properly on motley hardware too.

ah, so that's why my server broke when I got annoyed and did sudo chmod 777 /* On 3 September 2010 17:03, Paul Morgan-Roach wrote: > On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 11:37 AM, Jacob Mansfield wrote: > >> try running sudo chmod 777 * on the directorys and files >> >> Arghhh - while it's entirely possible that this might resolve the issue, > that's possibly the WORST thing you can do to resolve a permissions based > issue! > > Please don't ever suggest chmod-ing full permissions to everyone - it's a > fix that is likely to come back and bite at a later date! > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

When you first configure samba, you do have to add a user to the smbpasswd store using: smbpasswd -a username But after the first one is done I believe it is automatic (this might not be true I don't ever recall having to add additional users manually).
