What do you mean can not see?
I can't browse the home directory in konqueror, and I can't attach to it
in korganizer.
Also what version of samba are you using?
3.0.25b
Anne,
At this point, I would test compiling from source and see if the
problem remains. You can do it in about 5 minutes.
(1) download the latest samba-rev#.tar.gz;
(2) unzip it with "tar -xzf samba-rev#.tar.gz"
(3) change into the new samba-rev# directory
(4) actually read/browse the README file
(5) cd into the new samba-rev#/source directory
(6) run "sh autogen.sh"
(7) For Mandriva 2005LE, the ./configure was:
./configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share
--with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-privatedir=/etc/samba --target=i686
To check, just make sure smbclient is in /usr/bin, smbd and nmbd are in
/usr/sbin and smb.conf is in /etc/samba. If so the above configure will
work
(8) make && make install
(9) restart samba and test
(10) if it doesn't work, or all goes awry, then just:
make revert
and it will reload your current 3.0.25b
Before I do this -
The laptop that cannot read the server is running 3.0.25b. The server is
running 3.0.24. Does that make any difference/
I assume that you meant me to do this install on the laptop (client) ?
Anne
No,
I was talking about the server. I can't recall if it was 3.0.23, .24,
or .25, but somewhere in there problems were introduced that effects the
SID/GID and caused a number of problems. Since it doesn't take that
long, I'd do both server and laptop.
That is the rub about mandriva, nobody is building samba rpms anymore.
I built samba from source for the past 2 years on 2005LE, until I
replaced the server with openSuSE 10.3. Wonderful support for samba rpms.
