Hello List, I am having some difficulty getting Samba configured, the main problem is when I try to access a share on the Samba server from a windows box. Network neighborhood shows the samba server but always comes up with network problem when I try to access the server. I can ping the Linux PC from windows and vice a versa. testparm on smb.conf file shows OK. I can run smbclient on the Linux box and connect to a windows box and transfer files ok. I have smb.conf set to use encrypted passwords and have run the mksmbpasswd.sh utility on the passwd file. When I run nmblookup -L samba_server then I get an error message saying it can't find an exceptions.tdb file. The file doesn't exist in the directory the path is pointing to. I have checked the shares listed in smb.conf many times to ensure they are correct. I am not using dns so have set the resolve order to[ lmhosts hosts wins bcast] I have set up these files to include all the windows PC's This is a new install of RH7.3 I have another Linux PC running RH6,0 and I have no problems with Samba and I have virtually copied the smb.conf file over to the RH7.3 PC.
any help most appreciated. Regards Paul Parkyn
