I've just done an out-of-the-box RHEL6 (SL6, actually) install, but
can't get the Samba config quite right. system-config-samba has gone in
RHEL6, which hasn't helped.
If I set up a root section:
[root]
comment = SL6 /
path = /
writeable = yes
valid users = paul
then I can access '/' from XP without problems. If I instead (or as
well) set up a section for myself:
[paul]
comment = SL6 /home/paul
path = /home/paul
writeable = yes
valid users = paul
Then I can't access the 'paul' share from XP, even though I can access
the 'root' share. When using the root share, I can see the contents of
home, but I can't get into /home/paul.
I've tried this both with and without the standard [Homes] section; no
difference. smbusers contains the (extra) line 'paul = paul'. My
username and password are identical on XP and SL6, and my smb password
is the same. This is a small local workgroup; no domain.
The samba logfile doesn't complain when I try to access the paul share:
[2011/06/07 12:56:56.865835, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum)
puffin (::ffff:192.168.1.105) connect to service paul initially as
user paul (uid=500, gid=500)
but when I double-click on the share from Windows explorer, I get a
pop-up saying "\\SL6\paul is not accessible, yada".
Any ideas?
Thanks.
