F-ing Samba

[iLL_LeaT]

I'm having samba problems.

From Windows XP, I am able connect to samba. However, i can't connect to anything from SUSE.

I'm on openSUSE 10.2

The firewall is setup to allow the samba server

And samba is configured with the following:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2007/07/15 21:40:53

[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = INOTE
server string =
security = SHARE
map to guest = Bad User
printcap name = cups
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon drive = P:
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
local master = No
domain master = No
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255/255/255.0, 127.0.0.1
usershare allow guests = Yes
hosts deny = ALL
printing = cups
cups options = raw
print command =
lpq command = %p
lprm command =
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf


Any ideas?

Thanks

Hey,
Have you configured your samba user? Does your smb.conf is configured for MyShare. Just check the last part in smb.conf file it should be
[MyShare]
comment = example
path = /home/samba/example
writable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255/255/255.0, 127.0.0.1

Restart your samba service.
#smbmount //u.r.i.p/sharedfolder/ /mnt/test/ -o username=Administrator,password=uradminpassword

Where shared folder is of your windows machine and windows Administrator users login details. Ya n you need to create your /mnt/test directory too, to mount shared directory.

I have the following samba users. Sorry, I didnt think that the user info was important.

[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
guest ok = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin, root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775


I'm not exactly sure what you mean by creating /mnt/test
Is this a directory that Windows is sharing? Because I already have a shared directory that is visible from other windows machines.

The thing is that my Windows computers can see the samba user named “users” and the printers. But from Linux, I cant connect to samba at all. When I go to smb://mshome I get the following error:

Could not connect to host for smb://mshome

(Note: this is my first time configuring samba, so sorry if my questions sound noobish)

I've figured it out



Thanks for you help

smb://workgroup doesn't work.

It has to be smb://IP-address/Shared_Doc

If you get your DNS stuff setup correctly, you can use the hostname of the boxes instead of the IP addresses.

If you get your DNS stuff setup correctly, you can use the hostname of the boxes instead of the IP addresses.

What are you supposed to do to get your DNS setup "correctly"? I had no problem with whatever the default settings were in Suse 9.3 and 10.1 suddenly in 10.2

also please don't send me looking into log files without providing some kind of a clue as to what I'm after
