Re: [newbie] Startup smb problem
Stephen, First of all, sorry for the delay. Here's a stupid question: How can i send you guys my smb.conf? I opened it on kwrite but the file is to damn long and there are some parts that don't are important to send. Must i attach the file to the email? Or there's something that i can do in the command line? Thank you for your time. Best regards, filipe p.s. I'll be unreachable this weekend so i'll only have time to send the smb.conf monday. - Original Message - From: Stephen Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Startup smb problem On Thu, 2002-12-19 at 00:59, Aurélio Diniz wrote: Stephens, I supouse that samba can automout my windows network.

Thanks stephens for your help, Filipe p.s. i'll try this afternoon to solve my other problem (VMWARE) like you suggested. As was stated before, you should probably run smbpasswd for your root account and double check all your Samba settings. If you're haning on the smb service starting, there is either an issue with a password or an issue with the networking engine. Maybe you can post your /etc/samba/smb.conf for us to see? Maybe the problem lies therein? For your shutdown, you can setup a script to unmount partitions/network drives, etc - do you think that might help in your issues with your shutdown? -- Thu Dec 19 07:25:00 EST 2002 7:25am up 52 min, 3 users, load average: 0.43, 0.46, 0.41 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Lighten up, while you still can, Don't even try to understand, Just find a place to make your stand, And take it easy. -- The Eagles, Take It Easy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Here's a quick way to shorten your default SMB.CONF: 1.) Open up Webmin, go to SERVERS, click on SAMBA, then SWAT 2.) Make a small change - ANYWHERE, and click commit. 3.) Undo the change you just made and click commit. 4.) Click on ...back to share list 5.) Click on RESTART SAMBA SERVERS 6.) Navigate to your /etc/samba/ directory and view the smb.conf - you'll find that it's now got NONE of the junk in it anymore - just a nice streamlined configuration file. 7.)

Filipe ps. sorry for my bad english OK - well, there's obviously a problem with Samba - you're going to need to check over all the configurations for Samba...either by hand by looking at the /etc/samba/smb.conf, or through Webmin/SWAT...Samba hangs only when it can't resolve IP's, OR if you've setup an smb mount to automount (even accidentally) and the mount ain't there. Give that a look... On shutdown? Is there any errors or messages? Is it when it's trying to unmount NFS?

I would guess the Samba server you're connecting to is still asking for a password, even though apparently none is required. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what steps I took to solve this, but I'd check the Samba server you're connecting to, as someone else suggested. There must be a setting so that it doesn't always request a password... - Kathy Maybe running smbpasswd and using an empty password would work? -- Wed Dec 18 07:05:00 EST 2002 7:05am up 1 day, 10:06, 4 users, load average: 1.00, 0.84, 0.83 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn How much does she love you?
