Thanks for the tip. That's not the cause of the issue then :-/
At this point, I can finally get XP to show shared folders if I first
try to connect to them blindly through Run > "\\srv\share".
There were a few things I noticed along the way:
- "restart smbd" works, but "restart nmbd" doesn't. OTOH,
"/etc/init.d/smbd restart" works... and "/etc/init.d/nmbd restart" as
well. Go figure
A samba init script should take care of restarting both services IMHO,
because they're really supposed to go together. Therefore it's not
strange that they ported to upstart only the "main" init.d script (the
one referring to smbd). That's all IMHO, of course.
- apparently, we must remove package "libpam-smbpass", and install
"smbfs" and "winbind"
AFAIKT, smbfs is needed only if you want to mount samba shares, i.e. for
using the linux system as a samba *client*, not server. I'm not 100%
sure, though.
Regarding winbind, I find it strange that it didn't get installed along
with the rest of samba...
- /etc/nsswitch.conf requires adding "wins" to "hosts"
- I added the following to a share, with no idea if they're really
needed:
[share]
[...]
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
Thank you.
Don't know about "available" param, but public and writable shouldn't
affect visibility of the server in windows neighborhood.
