I read chapters 1, 2 & 3 fairly thoroughly, and I'm going through 12 (troubleshooting) now. One small problem is that this is for Samba 2.2 and I'm on 3.0.25. Be that as it may.... Let me start up front with this: both Windows boots can ping the CentOS Samba Server. Neither one can see it in their M$ Network. I went through chapter 3 step by step for both the W98 and WXP boots, and I can't see my C5.1 from W98 at all, and I can't see anything that's on the C5.1 from WXP. I started going through the troubleshooting chapter, and I got up to this point with W98: 'net use * \\mhrichter\tmp' hangs for about a minute, then comes back with an Error 59 - unknown error. In the log, I see this (I did it twice): [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# cat mhrichter.log [2008/05/31 10:54:03, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033) mhrichter (192.168.0.100) connect to service tmp initially as user nobody (uid=99, gid=99) (pid 19903) [2008/05/31 10:54:07, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1230) mhrichter (192.168.0.100) closed connection to service tmp [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# grep nobody /etc/passwd nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin nfsnobody:x:4294967294:4294967294:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# In case you don't remember, the tmp share is configured thus: [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp writeable = yes guest ok = yes So, in theory, anyone should be able to see it, read and write to it, etc. (Yes, I know there's a potential space problem here, but these machines are all on a private subnet, I'm the only one who has a clue how to really make use of them, and there's about 35GB left on /, including /tmp.) This particular problem is not addressed in the guide, so I'm stuck (again). I'll be trying the WXP boot in a few minutes, where my logon /should/ work (but doesn't) and I'll see what turns up in the log for that. But, in the mean time, any ideas?
