[Samba] Samba problems

CH ENGINEERING CO. Wed, 06 Nov 2002 01:52:28 -0800

Hi!

I tried to set up a Samba PDC but so far it is not yet working (3 weeks passed). I posted my Samba problems to news groups and discussion forums, but the suggestions given were not able to solve my problems. I went through a few HOWTOs and followed the step-by-step guide, still can not solve my problem. I am realy new to Linux and Samba and hope sameone will guide me through.

(1) What I did: -

(a) I installed the samba samba-swat, samba-common, samba-client, and edited /etc/samba/smb.conf files as following: -

    # Samba config file created using SWAT
    # from chee_ch.com (127.0.0.1)
    # Date : 2002/10/26
    # Global parmeters
    [global]

    ;Basic server setting 3/11/2002
    workgroup = CH LINUX SER
    netbios name = CH-HOMES
    server string = Primary Domain Server running Samba %v
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF = 8192 SO_SNDBUF = 8192

    ;PDC and master browser setting
    os level = 64
    preferred master = yes
    local master = yes
    domain master = yes
    domain logons = yes
    dns proxy = No

    ;Security and logging settings
    security = user
    encrypt passward = Yes
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    log level = 2
    max log size = 0
    host allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
    samba passwd file = /etc/samba/ambpasswd
    passward program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *New*passward* %n\n*
    *Retype*new*passwd*%n\n*passwd:*all*
    *authentication*token*updated*successfully*

    add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Mechine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u

    # Domain groups:
    domain admin group = root@adm

    [homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    writable = yes

    [profiles]
    path = /home/samba/profiles
    writable = yes
    brawseable = no
    create mask = 0600
    directory mask = 0700

    [netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Services
    path = /home/netlogon
    read only = yes
    browseable = no
    write list = @admins

    [printers]
    comment = All printer
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printeble = Yes
    brawsable = No

(b) I added the Samba user Peter and Secretary: -

#useradd -m Peter

#passwd Peter

.....

#cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

#smbpasswd Peter

.....

(d) I added root passward to the Samba

#smbpasswd -a root

......

(e) I did

#groupadd -g 200 admins

#groupadd -g 201 machines

#mkdir -m 0775 /home/netlogon

#chown root.admins /home/netlogon

#mkdir /home/samba /home/samba/profiles

#chmod 1757 /home/samba/profiles

(f) At the Windows 98 client I change to Client for Microsoft Networks, Primary Network Logon, Logon to NT Domain.

(g) I copied AutoCAD files to /home/Peter/tmp/ and /home/Secretary/tmp/

(2) What happened

I re-booted the Samba PDC and Samba started fine. From the Network Neighborhood of window client (Peter and Secretary) I can see CH LINUX SER. I double

clicked it I can see CH-HOMES (netbios name). I double clicked CH-HOMES, it prompted for passwd, I enter and I went in CH-HOMES. But, it is an ***empty***

folder. I supposted be able to see to Peter and Secretary folders. And and in Peter and Secretary I supposted be able to see tmp .......

I rechecked the smb.conf file many, many times to ensure no spelling error etc, nothing worked out. In the CH-HOMES folder of window client, it is still an empty

folder.

(3) What I like to see

A Samba PDC serving 10 over window clients, each window client login to their respective /home diectory.

What has happened?! I am new to Linux and Samba, and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Oswald
