Hi, I am having problem in Samba in my office. I could successfully installed Redhat 9 on one of the computers in my office
We just need to share some files with about 10 windows 2000/XP clients, So I did not use any domain controller or winbind (Actually, I do not have any knowledge of these.) I want to share files with Microsoft File Sharing. The problem is like this. Windows clients can access Linux server and read and write files perfectly. However, when a Windows user logout from current machine and other users login that machine, the user can only access to the Linux server and neither can see any other computer in our workgroup nor access to the internet. I attached my smb.conf. Anybody, please give me advice. Glen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors. # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd load printers = yes passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 obey pam restrictions = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers encrypt passwords = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u dns proxy = no server string = Our Linux Server printing = cups unix password sync = Yes workgroup = workgroup os level = 20 printcap name = /etc/printcap create mode = 766 max log size = 0 pam password change = yes directory mode = 777 [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no valid users = %S writeable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print printable = yes # This one is useful for people to share files ;[tmp] ; comment = Temporary file space ; path = /tmp ; read only = no ; public = yes # A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in # the "staff" group ;[public] ; comment = Public Stuff ; path = /home/samba ; public = yes ; writable = yes ; printable = no ; write list = @staff # Other examples. # # A private printer, usable only by fred.
