check shares on my machine

**pksa** · 11-28-2005

How could I ensure myself that any of my disks is not share to others on network?
I use shares on other machines using samba and wondering if others might get access to my files without my knowledge. Sorry for so basic question.

Run

smbclient -L 127.0.0.1 -U yourusername

on your box to see what shares are available to user yourusername, or simply

smbclient -L 127.0.0.1

to see shares avalable for guests.

Hm
Look:

Code:

linux&#58;/home/pksa # hostname -i
10.0.0.119 &#91;quote&#93;
&#91;/quote&#93;linux&#58;/home/pksa # smbclient -L 10.0.0.119
Error connecting to 10.0.0.119 &#40;No route to host&#41;
Connection to 10.0.0.119 failed

Does that mean that there no shares on my mashines or I'm doing that wrong.

No, it doesn't ...This means that your box is unable to connect to itself .. try smbclient with loopback address 127.0.0.1 ...

linux:/home/pksa # hostname -i
10.0.0.119

linux:/home/pksa # smbclient -L 10.0.0.119
Error connecting to 10.0.0.119 (No route to host)
Connection to 10.0.0.119 failed

Hmm, it lookx bit strange

... do you have some firewall set-up ? Or don't you have inproperly set network mask or routing ? Try to run smblient -L 10.0.0.119 from another machine on your network, what does it say ?

**pksa** · 11-30-2005

I have firewall set on.
I tried smbclient -L 127.0.0.1 but it gives the same message.
There might be something with network mask or routing. I guess that during system boot the ip is set to 10.0.0.111.
How could I check it?

**srerucha** · 11-30-2005

Try to shut down the fw temprarily and check the smbclient ...

The command

Code:

ip addr show

or

Code:

ifconfig

will show you your IP

Wright:
linux:/home/pksa # ip addr show

Code:

1&#58; lo&#58; <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    link/loopback 00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00 brd 00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00&#58;00

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

linux:/home/pksa # ifconfig

Code:

But
linux:/home/pksa # hostname -i

Code:

10.0.0.119

And finaly:
linux:/home/pksa # smbclient -L 10.0.0.111
[/quote]Error connecting to 10.0.0.111 (Connection refused)
Connection to 10.0.0.111 failed

Well done,
after all it seems you don't have samba (smbd) running and nobody from local network cannot acces your files using it ...

**pksa** · 12-01-2005

First of all thank you v.much for help.

I need to read sth about smb client. I don't have it installed but I can mount other shares (mount -smbfs). Does that mean that to share disk smb client should be installed but to mount them there is no such need?

What about the other ip which is reported by hostname -i. Is there something wrong?

Not exactly. To share your files you nedd smbd (smba daemon, from package samba). To acces files ahred by others you need smblient (samba client, package samba-clent). This clients allows you to mount the shares from others machines.

I'm not sure about this ... maybe some misconfiguration ... but the ip (of ifconfig) are reliable sources
