I've just managed to get samba up and runing properly on my mdk 9.1 box and WinXP home so that I can acess my home directory from winXP (user level requires login). Heres the bit's in my smb.conf file that I think did the job.
workgroup = HOME
#Check to make sure the work group is the same on the windows box as MS XP #atleast uses MSHOME as default workgroup.
netbios name = Beastie
#this is the name windows sees the computer as. It allows me to access the #machine typing \\Beastie\ in explorers address bar if disabled you have to #type the ip address. This is also used by MS to list your machine in list of #machines in Network Neighborhood
security = user
#makes windows ask for user name and password to access shares
This section I have commented out it's enabled by default but was causing some problems
# unix password sync = Yes
# passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
# passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
# *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
Theres alot more to the config file but those are the major changes I made to get it working.
Also it's worth noting after making the changes run service -f smb as root to restart samba with the new config settings.
At the WinXP end I made sure the workgroup was the same as for my linux box and that netbios over tcp/ip was enabled. And then used \\Beastie\ in the explorer address bar to find the machine and \\home to find the work group.

I'm home now and a kind list member has offered to come see me tomorrow at work. If we have no joy, I'll follow up your suggestions, and I will post our results on-list either way.

what are the symptoms, and can you post your smb.conf
have you set up smbpasswd?
are all the users using the same login and passwords on the windows boxes to their user accounts on the linux box?
can you post the results of smbclient -L localhost - and smbclient -L windowsbox from the linux box

Hi all,
I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get samba to work on my work lan - to no avail. I've RTFM and attended the ostc class on it. It still won't go.
I am at my wits end. Is there anyone who is in the CBD during the week who could pop in and have a look to see if I have missed something dumb (which it would not surprise if I have)??
It would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jason
