I just set up Debian on an old laptop with the intent of using it as a server for certain files. I'm having a debil of a time getting Samba to work, though.
Here is smb.conf: lucien:/etc/samba# cat smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.1.163 (192.168.1.163) # Date: 2004/01/25 23:03:06 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MY_WORKGROUP netbios name = LUCIEN server string = Library Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *Passwd:All*Authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No [Library] comment = Readerware Server path = /opt/library force group = crawford read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 directory mask = 0777 guest ok = Yes hide dot files = No As you can see, I've got SWAT working just fine. I don't have X working on this computer, but I can access SWAT from another computer on the network. I can testparm just fine, with no errors. I can execute smbclient on Lucien with no errors.: lucien:/etc/samba# smbclient -L lucien added interface ip=192.168.1.164 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[STONEGOOSE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Library Disk Readerware Server IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Library Server) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Library Server) Server Comment --------- ------- HAGRID File Server LUCIEN Library Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- MY_WORKGROUP HAGRID I can ping Lucien with no problems, I can telnet to port 139 on Lucien. I have confirmed that both smbd and nmbd are running. Running netstat -a, I get... lucien:/etc/samba# netstat -a Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 192.168.1.164:ssh seamus:45149 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 *:netbios-ssn *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:swat *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.1.164:1036 hagrid:ssh ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:time *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:daytime *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:discard *:* LISTEN udp 0 0 192.168.1.1:netbios-dgm *:* udp 0 0 192.168.1.16:netbios-ns *:* udp 0 0 *:netbios-dgm *:* udp 0 0 *:netbios-ns *:* udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* udp 0 0 *:discard *:* raw 0 0 *:icmp *:* 7 raw 0 0 *:tcp *:* 7 Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 6 [ ] DGRAM 82 /dev/log unix 1 [ W ] STREAM CONNECTED 10275 unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 10274 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 10224 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 6171 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 6159 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 4023 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 3983 unix 0 [ ] DGRAM 86 ...which seems right to me. But when I try to browse to Lucien through Windows Network, I can't see the Library share. I should say that I have another server with Samba running in this network (Hagrid) and I can browse there just fine... and the smb.conf files are mostly identical on both servers (with the appropriate differences for the servers, of course). Anyone got any ideas? -- Slainte, Richard S.
