Do you have iptables running? Did you configure it to let samba traffic through? Add these two lines (probably wrapped in this email, so make sure to join them in the file) to/etc/sysconfig/iptables, then run 'service iptables restart'. Replace 192.168.1.0/16 with the netmask for where you want to accept packets from: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.1.0/16 --dport netbios-ns:netbios-ssn -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/16 --dport netbios-ns:netbios-ssn -j ACCEPT That should get you to the user/pw stage. See below for more on that. And On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 13:19:09 -0800 Daniel wrote: DG> If there's no Windows in the equation, forget samba and use netatalk or DG> NFS. There are apparently endian issues with samba under YDL. One BIG (imho) disadvantage with netatalk is that they dropped support for symbolic links. No problem for remote Mac users, but for die-hard unix folks who use symlinks regularly, it's a huge problem. i.e. if you use symlinks, use NFS or SMB. This bug has a patch to the samba source rpm that will build w/out optimizations, which fixes the issue with smbpasswd (i.e. it wasn't their fault, it was gcc). _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
