*** Steven,
The answer was in your mail! Like a lot of people told you, ps ax | grep
smb to see if the daemon is running and the smbclient line to see what
shares you can access on the Samba server, if any. I don't know if you
all ready finished configuring /etc/smbclient?
Something that might help you configure samba the easy way is SWAT: "Samba
Web Administration Tool"
1/
To activate it, uncomment or add the next line in /etc/inetd.conf:
# SAMBA Web browser configuration tool
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
2/
Comment out the following:
# SAMBA NetBIOS services (for PC file and print sharing)
#netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
#netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/nmbd nmbd
3/
Add the following to /etc/services:
swat 901/tcp # Browser config tool for SAMBA
4/
(Re)start these services:
4.1/
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
4.2/
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
5/
Please stop the following service and forget about it!
5.1/
/etc/rc.d/init.d/linuxconf stop
5.2/
In order to avoid linuxconf starting at next boot, type as root
"setup", go to "System Services", put the cursor on linuxconf and hit the
space bar. Go to <OK> with the tab key and hit <Enter>.
One day it will maybe work "as well" as SAM (HP) or scoadmin (SCO), but
in the meantime...
6/
Make sure you're not doing anything wrong in /etc/hosts.allow and
hosts.deny.
If you have questions, don't hesitate.
Cheers!
