I have been unable to get my Samba shares on RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.3a to be visible from my Windows 2000 SP1 server. From the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests (results below) I think that nmbd is not working properly, but it stops and starts fine, and a ps -A shows 1 X smbd and 2X(?)nmbd processes running, I have tried the suggestions there without luck and am not sure where to go next. I'd appreciate any suggestions...
Regards, Peter TEST 1: ------- "testparm smb.conf" Successful. TEST 2: ------- "ping BIGSERVER" Successful. TEST 3: ------- "smbclient -L BIGSERVER" Successful. TEST 4: ------- "nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__" Successfully returned the IP address, but also returned several lines thus: tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory On inspection, the unexpected.tdb file does not exist, and I don't know where to get it or whether it is important! TEST 5: ------- "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'" Successfully return the IP address, but also returned the same error lines as test 4. TEST 6: ------- "nmblookup -d 2 '*'" Error lines from Test 4 + name_query failed to find name * TEST 7: ------- "smbclient //BIGSERVER/TMP" Anonymous login successful Domain=[PMW] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a] TEST 8: ------- "net view \\BIGSERVER" TEST 9: -------- "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP" TEST 10: -------- "nmblookup -M PMW" tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory name_query failed to find name PMW#1d TEST 11: -------- >From file manager try to browse the server.
