[Samba] Samba help?
Hello everyone, I have just joined this group (discussion board) and would like to know how it works. Can I just put questions out there about my Samba difficulties and hope someone can help me? Sorry to sound naïve, but I do need help with my Samba config and I have spent months, yes months, trying to get what I am told is a simple thing to work, to work for me and I just can't get it. I would love it if I could get some help because I sure do need it. Respectfully waiting for the kindness of strangers..

I've tried everything you've suggested, as well as a bunch of conflicting suggestions from others, with no success. I've narrowed the problem down to the idmap -- ad settings in smb.conf and the best information I have right now suggests that something went wonky in the app sometime after 3.4.8. So right now my immediate objective is to get 3.4.8 running and see if the problem still occurs. A particular help would be at least getting some error in syslog or the samba logs to find out why the binary won't start.

Re: [Samba] Samba help
Mandrake's default setting is to have: map to guest = bad user in the smb.conf. This means, that if your Windows user doesn't exist on the Mandrake box, it will get mapped to guest. I suppose your [public] share definition doesn't have a public = yes, or guest allow = yes line? So I see three possible solutions here: - Specify map to guest = never, in this way your windows users would get prompted for a username/password when they connect - Create the corresponding usernames/passwords on the mdk box (both useradd xyz, and smbpasswd -a xyz) - Allow guest access to public. About WINS: if your network is part of a bigger one, your needs could vary depending of your setup: -permanent vs. temporary connection -static IP addresses vs. DHCP -having a WINS server on the bigger network or not. Cheers, Geza Thanks for the help, I've gotten a little further, now my samba server shows up in network neighborhood, but when i try to access it it says \\MOSES\public is not accessible. You might not have permission, blah blah '' any ideas why i can't access it? do i need to add the username logged into my windows 2003 box to the smb.conf? about the WINS server, ive never had any experience setting a WINS server up. which box would work better as a WINS server, the same box that the samba server is on? one of the windows 2003 machines? or should i make a seperate machine for it? and will this affect the wider network that my smaller network is connected to? thanks again. -zak */Gémes Géza [EMAIL PROTECTED]/* wrote: Hellraiserr0 írta: Hi, I have a network in my room with three computers right now, two connected to a Lynksys router, that router is connected to a wider network, then to the internet.

Hi, I´m an university student of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ( Canary Islands, Spain). I apply to you because I´m begining to develop my last project, I´m at the end of my Computer Engeneer career. What I try in this project is to extensive the PHP language with a library that it conects to a SAMBA file server and makes the functions that alows us the SMBCLIENT on the actually systems. The actually developments that I could see ( including SAMBA2WWW) are developed making use of the function system that includes the majority of the languages to make calls to own operative system functions. My idea is to try don´t ude this function and use others mechanisms to obtein that those who use them could do it quietest it´s a security question. And also of trying that a language so extended as the PHP is evident that have a function library to the conexions with SAMBA. Well what I´d like is that if you can and with all the experience that I suppose that you have, you would indicate me if it´s possible to do my project and would send me all the information that you think it could de useful any way.

[Samba] Samba... help!
I need some help to configure Samba. I have two computers on my LAN, one running WinXP, the other running RH 8. I've tried to configure Samba, using both manual text mode and WebMin/SWAT. But nothing seems to help. I can see both computers in Network Neighbourhood (My Network Places), but I can't access the Linux box. When I try it, I get the following error message: "Linuxbox is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found:" It seems like I messed something up about security level, passwords, users or something like that. I just can't see what I'm missing. I made changes in "hosts" and "lmhosts" on both computers, and I ran a reg file called WinXP_PlainPassword.reg. That reg file is supposed to fix the registry so I wouldn't have any problems regarding passwords. I have to mention that the XP computer works as gateway, since a thunderstorm killed my router a couple of months ago.But if I can get the Linux up and running I want it to be gateway, also because I want to host a couple of web sites on it. I hope some of you guys out there are able to help med. Preferrably online (ICQ or the like) since I believe that method would be better than sending mails back and forth a million times. If somebody would want to, it's possible to mess with my Linux box through WebMin. Kind regards Freddy ICQ UIN: 10492476
