Hi Brandon,
I would encourage you to simplify things even more at this point until
you get the situation resolved. Remove or comment out anything that is
not critical for Samba to startup with a single share, an example
smb.conf would be:
[global]
workgroup = MORTSHIRE
security = share
netbios name = annw
restrict anonymous = 0
[media]
path = /var/media
writeable = yes
If that works, then add the rest of your stuff line by line until you
find something that doesn't work.
The only time that I have seen the access denied message you list was
when I had set 'restrict anonymous = 2'. This value defaults to 0 which
allows anonymous browsing of a Samba server's service definitions (in
any security mode). This value is documented in the man page for smb.conf.
HTH,

I am new to Samba, but not to Linux. I hope someone here can point me in the

I have installed Samba and it appears to be working, at least as far as I have
tested it. However, I have hit a snag in my testing. I have searched Google for
several hours but I have not found a solution.
On a Linux machine (named "annwn") running Fedora Core 6, I have set up a share,
using the least restrictive "share" type permissions (this is only for testing:
once I get things working, I will lock things down more). The directory to be
shared is /var/media:
drwxrwxr-x 5 root media 4096 Apr 5 11:22 media
I have created a user called "smbguest", and added this user to the "media"
group. I have then set "smbguest" as the guest user, and created a "media"
share for the /var/media directory:
[global]
workgroup = MORTSHIRE
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
guest account = smbguest
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.0.0.1
cups options = raw
[media]
comment = media on annwn.mortshire
path = /var/media
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
testparm says that the smb.conf file is valid. Then I restarted samba. But when
I test this share by running (on annwn, as root) smbclient, the share connects,
but will not permit a "dir" command. It returns the error
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# smbclient //annwn/media
Password:
Domain=[MORTSHIRE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]
Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
smb: \> dir
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \*
57237 blocks of size 4194304. 4158 blocks available
I have gone so far as to chmod both /var and /var/media to 777, and chown them
both to smbguest:smbguest, to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. I
still get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
Here is the service definition output from testparm:
[global]
workgroup = MORTSHIRE
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
guest account = smbguest
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.0.0.1
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[media]
comment = media on annwn.mortshire
path = /var/media
read only = No
I have double and triple checked everything I can think of, and I am stumped.
Does anyone have a clue they'd be willing to share?
