I'm having problems with samba 2.0 (the .deb in potato) that I was hoping someone could help me with.
My win95 box cannot be seen by smbclient, and my linux box cannot be seen by my win95 box. Both can ping each other, however, so I don't think it's an ether problem. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~]$ smbclient -N -L localhost Added interface ip=0.0.0.0 bcast=0.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Domain=[ASGARD] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- tmp Disk Temporary file space IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) lp Printer Generic dot-matrix printer entry Server Comment --------- ------- BOLVERK Samba Server FRIGG Printer Workgroup Master --------- ------- ASGARD FRIGG Why is my samba box not the master? (I've got my smb.conf attached later) btw, FRIGG isn't a printer, but I would like to have it serve a printer which explains the Comment field. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~]$ smbclient -N -L 192.168.1.30 Added interface ip=0.0.0.0 bcast=0.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 session request to 192.168.1.30 failed session request to *SMBSERVER failed [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~]$ ping 192.168.1.30 PING 192.168.1.30 (192.168.1.30): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.30: icmp_seq=0 ttl=32 time=4.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.30: icmp_seq=1 ttl=32 time=3.1 ms my linux box (192.168.1.1) does not show up in the win95 browse window. Here's the non-comment parts of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = ASGARD server string = Samba Server load printers = yes guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space broseable = yes path = /tmp read only = no public = yes So in an smbclient -N -L localhost, I should see tmp shared as well as some printers, and shouldn't my servername come up and workgroup name? In my /usr/src/linux/.config: CONFIG_SMB_FS=y CONFIG_SMB_WIN95=y [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[/usr/src/linux]# uname -a Linux bolverk 2.2.1 #3 Sun Feb 7 13:52:40 EST 1999 i586 unknown In Windoze, neither Start>>Run>>\\bolverk or Start>>Run>>\\192.168.1.1 work, but Network Neighborhood lists FRIGG and only FRIGG. I think this has something to do with my samba server not being the master browser, but why is it not? Shouldn't those lines in the smb.conf ensure the samba server being master browser? When I set LM Announce = Yes and Browse Master = Disabled in Win95, the smbclient output looks the same, but FRIGG no-longer shows up in the network neighborhood window. (From the default Browse Master = Automatic) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. -Dano
