My SuSE Linux 10.0 box is set up as a Samba server with WINS support. When I try to to enable smbfs using YaST System Services (Runlevel), the response is: ---------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured)
Mount SMB/CIFS File Systems ..unused ---------------------------------------------------------------- nmb and smb are both being started. How do I configure smbfs? When browsing SMB shares, I can see my workgroup and under that my Linux box. (My Windows boxes are missing.) It doesn't matter whether the firewall is on or off. Another curious feature is that typing smb://Wombat/ gives an error, but smb://wombat/Temp works fine (//Wombat/Temp is a windows share). Winbind is not included in my SuSE installation. Do I need it? >From the Windows side, My Linux box doesn't show up in my Windows network, but I can access my Samba shares by setting them up as network places. Can anyone help? /etc/samba/smb.conf is shown below.
