 |
|
Hi
Im trying to install samba and make my computer a fileserver, but ive got problems.
Samba is up and running. I have made the shares available to all.
Now I go to the Windz machine and ask for computers in my workgroup. The BLAG computer shows up and as I have put %h and %v in the server string I know that its been recognized as computer samba and that the macine use correct version.
When i click the samba server, windz says that it has no path. I search the machine from Windz and Windz can find it, but when i try to connect it has no path.
What have I missed?
Thanks for your exellent dist, its a pleasure to use it. I have tried the 9002 and now im on 10000.
Regards
Goran
PS the previous screen for logging in was nicer for me. I use swedish language and some of the characters in användarnamn (user nme) are outside the screen. can i change that? DS

I don't really do samba so I'll let that part be answered by someone around here who works on it more.
WRT login screen, ya, at some screen resolutions it appears that the fonts grow even bigger... The file that sets this is here:
/usr/share/gdm/themes/blagCanyon/blagCanyon.xml

Hi
More information. I have used the terminal to start and stop the deamon and MC to edit the smb.conf in /etc/samba. Now I tried SWAT. Here I can see that smbd is not running but nmbd is running - both started with -./smb start-.
I tried to start smbd from within SWAT but it did not start.
I have checked the smb.conf file with -testparm smb.conf- and it says its OK.
Next I asked in the terminal windoiw -./smb status- and both deamons are reported running.When I go back to SWAT report, it insists that smbd is NOT running after trying to restart smbd it still says its NOT running. In the terminal it says that snbd is running.
There is a discrespancy one report that smbd is running the other that it is not running.
Can anyone explain this.
- Goran
PS I like BLAG, nice dist - nice people DS

You can start stop smb thusly:
| Code: | /sbin/service smb stop
/sbin/service smb start
/sbin/service smb restart |
If you see smb (and it's subprocesses running) in `ps ax` then its running--this is more accurate than swat.
As for configuring samba, I, well, forget.... Can someone post a "typical" smb.conf to here or the wiki please?

Hi Jebba
Tried to use your suggestiions, but the problem remains.
nmbd seems to give the right name to the network but when I try to go back to the samba machine from the Windz XP machine -the network path was not found-. Same answers from the code you showed , Both smbd and nmbd are running, but SWAT shows that smbd is not running and cannot be started.
I have tried to find Linneighborhood or jagd to see the networh from whithin BLAG10000 but they seems to be missing. Can I use apt-get to install them?
I have tested the smb.conf file with testparm and its OK.

To see the samba network from within your server, you can run:
smbclient -L <host name or IP>
It will ask for a password which is not required to list the services, so just hit enter.
If this command is not available, install the package samba-client-3.0.2-7.FC1 from the blag10000 repository.
This will display the SMB services that the smbd server is offering up from your config file in /etc/smb/smb.conf.
P.S. I have not had luck with SWAT since redhat 6 and just used the smb.conf file directly as it is pretty well commented.

remember to use
before you try to test samba stuff.
I also use
to show which apps are using the smb 139 port.
If remember correctly thing like SWAT also want other ports opened in iptables...
There was another thread about samba on this forum some time ago..

There is a `redhat-config-samba` in 10000.
By the way, in 20000 (fedora core 2), all the redhat-config-* have been renamed to system-config-*
