Samba v2.0.6 is installed, but obviously not configured properly on an old DEC Alpha Model 3100 running VMS 7.3 and TCPIP 5.0 The node name is WOODSTOCK. It is being used as a development/ evaluation box for SAMBA at this time. [eventually SAMBA would replace our Pathworks servers.]
The system shows up in NT's server manager as being active [the icon is lit] but any action from the File menu results in "network path not found" I used smbclient.exe_axp to get the node to join the domain and it reported, as well as appears, to have been successful. The only error testparm reports is the the locks directory should have create mode 0755 to allow browsing. From the smb.conf, I included force create mode 0755 for the locks directory but still have had no success browsing. I have also, from VMS-side, opened up directory and file permissions to s:rwed, o:rwed, g:rwed and w:rwed in an attempt to get the directory into condition. I guess I'm at the point of "where did I go wrong?" Towards that end, following is my [current] smb.conf file: ; Configuration file for smbd. ;============================================================================ ; [global] server string = Samba %v running on %h (OpenVMS) workgroup = VSSI netbios name = woodstock netbios aliases = vms remote announce = 140.171.106.1 140.171.112.10 remote browse sync = 140.171.106.255 wins server = 140.171.106.1 name resolve order = wins lmhosts ; changed to server security 4/17/2002 - Mike Liebbe ; changed to domain security 4/18/2002 - Mike Liebbe security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = Yes smbpasswd file=sys$sysdevice/samba_root/var/locks/passwd.dat map system = Yes ; printing parameters section hide dot files = No printing = bsd printcap name = /sys$sysroot/tcpip$lpd/tcpip$printcap.dat print command = print %s /queue=%p /delete/name=SAMBA_PRINT lppause command = samba_lppause %p %j lpresume command = samba_lpresume %p %j lpq command = samba_lpstat %p l prm command = samba_lprm %p %j; lpq cache time = 0 load printers = yes ; socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 socket options = SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_KEEPALIVE; keepalive = 30 guest account = samba__guest lock directory = sys$sysdevice/samba_root/var/locks force create mode = 0755 share modes = yes ; ole locking compatibility must be off, or VMS will create a giant empty files! ole locking compatibility = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0750 fstype = ODS2 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes public = no writable = no create mode = 0700 printing=OpenVMS [FRONTPORT] comment = FRONTPORT Project browsable = yes read only = no guest ok = no path = /PROJECT_ROOT/FRONTPORT/ [liebbem] comment = Mike Liebbe Samba Share path = /sys$sysdevice/liebbem valid users = liebbem public = yes writable = yes printable = no browsable = yes
