What is the output of: $ smbclient -L samba_server_host-or-IP -U samba_user from one of the samba clients? OK, I experimented some more, and here's what I got. I replaced the system on the two sandbox client machines by a standard vanilla CentOS+GNOME desktop. At first I couldn't browse any samba shares, but then I figured out that the standard desktop configuration blocks some outgoing ports in the firewall. So I simply disabled the firewall, and I could browse the shares, connect to them, create files and directories, etc. Which means the server setup looks OK so far. I did edit one minor detail in my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE netbios name = amandine dns proxy = yes domain master = yes I moved the netbios name from uppercase to lowercase, after a bit of RTFM. Now the desktop client setups I usually install start from a quite stripped-down GNOME configuration. I described the installation process here: https://kikinovak.wordpress.com/poste-de-travail/ It essentially installs to 1. install the base system and configure it. 2. install X11 and configure WindowMaker 3. Install a minimal GNOME and a collection of selected applications. On such a minimal client, I have these Samba packages installed: [root@bernadette:~] # rpm -qa | grep samba samba-common-4.1.1-38.el7_0.x86_64 samba-client-4.1.1-38.el7_0.x86_64 samba-libs-4.1.1-38.el7_0.x86_64 Unfortunately I can neither browse any Samba shares, nor connect to them directly. So something else must be missing, but what?

What is the output of: $ smbclient -L samba_server_host-or-IP -U samba_user from one of the samba clients? Here's what I got. My Samba test server is amandine.microlinux.lan, my two test client machines are bernadette.microlinux.lan and raymonde.microlinux.lan. From either of these client machines, I can't browse the network, but I can do what you suggested, e. g. : Ctrl + L == smb://amandine This shows the shares, and I can access them correctly. Here's what the suggested smbclient command from one of the client machines looks like: [kikinovak@bernadette ~]$ smbclient -L amandine -U kikinovak Enter kikinovak's password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.1] Sharename Type Comment - --- Public Disk Partage Public ConfidentielDisk Partage Confidentiel IPC$IPC IPC Service (Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE) Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.1] Server Comment ---- AMANDINE Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE NAS WorkgroupMaster ---- WORKGROUPAMANDINE So it looks like browsing does not work.

[CentOS] Samba shares not appearing
Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Samba, trying to make it work on CentOS 7. Before that, I ran Samba successfully in a mixed environment with Slackware64 14.1 on the server and Slackware/Windows Seven on the client side. I have three sandbox machines running CentOS 7. One has a minimal install with only the samba and samba-client packages. Just to be on the safe side for fiddling, SELinux is disabled, there's no firewall, etc. I installed the 'samba' and 'samba-client' packages and edited a custom /etc/samba/smb.conf like this: # /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE netbios name = AMANDINE dns proxy = yes domain master = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 2 bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = 192.168.2.0/24 localhost hosts allow = 192.168.2. 127. security = user passdb backend = tdbsam unix password sync = no invalid users = root encrypt passwords = yes guest account=smbguest map to guest = bad user force group = users create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 load printers = no printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null disable spoolss = yes [Public] path = /srv/samba/public comment = Partage Public public = yes only guest = yes read only = no [Confidentiel] path = /srv/samba/confidentiel comment = Partage Confidentiel read only = no invalid users = root nobody smbguest Note: I explicitly disabled printing because Samba apparently refused to start, complaining about missing printers. And I did not forget to create a handful of Samba users (smbguest as well as normal users). On the server, I have this: # smbclient -L localhost -N Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.1] Sharename Type Comment - --- Public Disk Partage Public ConfidentielDisk Partage Confidentiel IPC$IPC IPC Service (Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE) Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.1] Server Comment ---- AMANDINE Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE NAS WorkgroupMaster ---- WORKGROUPAMANDINE On the desktop clients (running CentOS 7 + GNOME), when I click on Explorer le réseau (I think it is Browse Network in english), I don't see any server appearing. The 'samba-client' package is installed on the clients. Now I'm a bit clueless. Any suggestions on what to try next?
