Samba name server ORION is now a local master browser for workgroup HELL on subnet 192.168.2.13

*****
Please keep me from going back to 2K server! I can see my sever from my XP clients,however
my server does not show up in hell my workgroup but is in a group named mygroup. The server is listed under it but when I try to connect it asks for a username and password. I have tried all the usernamse and password and no connections. When i try to enter smb: in Nautilus it gives me an error that nautilus cannot display smb:///.
I am running the newest redhat 8.0 with the most current critical updates.
I have found all kinds of links on the web to this problem but never any solution. Thanks very much

you need to add samba accounts for the users you want to acess the computer

lets say you have a user in /etc/password called joe

if you want joe to access your samba server you need to do

smbpassward -a joe
(and it will ask for his password)

(this sets the password for user joe and adds him to the samba list) In oprder to do this the user (joe) must already be in /etc/password -- are you going to setup samba as the PDC and have it do domain logons too?

bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.

In smb.conf, force samba to bind to the local ip.

[captain insano]

here is my setup redhat on ASUS A7V133 1000 Duron, 512mb ram, 1 12gb disk with linux, 2 60 gb maxtor drives in a raid 1 configuration.
My goal is to eventually run it as a file server and an UT2003 dedicated game server
Ii also wouild like to run it as a router and dhcp server in the near future
Rright now i have a p2 machine running bbiagent as a router and firewall and dhcp server for my two xp desktops for gaming and my server
I am not planning on using a domain
Genlee how do i force it to bind to the local ip do i need to make it static?
Thanks for all your help

[captain insano]

Update. I am able to access all the shares that are public on my Linux box. However I cannot access any of the private shares that I have set up. This makes me feel like I have climbed everest! The problem was with my password file I guess. thanks for all your help! I will keep chugging along! I am going to try and set it up as a PDC tonight. Wish me luck. :P

[tithefug]

Good Luck!!!

Took me about 1hr to get a working pdc. Its not very difficult unless you are working with windows xp.

[captain insano]

Got everything working now. It is amazing how actually getting something to work helps your confidence. In the past I would try the new release get frustrated and go back to windows. It can still be frustrating but the feeling you get when you actually get something to work is very gratifying. Everything is working so I'm going to tackle the PDC with XP clients tonight.

[majorwoo]

there are some registry mods you have to make on the XP machines to have them join the domain, nice mention of it on the samba page - some links to it are in another post in this forum - the one where i was yelling about XP rewriting my MBR, check there

[captain insano]

I'm getting this error when i try to set passwords. Has anyone had this before?

[root@ORION root]# smbpasswd root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number)
Password changed for user root.
