I have a Linux server (Debian - slink) which must share files with a bunch of Windows boxes. I've installed Samba on Linux and have made all the modifications (I think) on Windows clients. Now they can see the Linux server but they are not permited to access it. Not even to see the directories shared by Linux server.
On Windows side I've made 192.168.1.1 (Linux IP) WINS and DNS server and everything seems OK (par example they can use Netscape to access Internet through the Linux gateway.) This is my smb.conf file: ===File ~/smb.conf========================================== ; ; /etc/smb.conf ; [global] printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 debug level = 3 ; hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 ; security = user security = share workgroup = CUB server string = %h server (Samba %v) ; This socket options really speed up Samba under Linux, according to my ; own tests. socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes ; os level = 0 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes ; What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names ; to IP addresses name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast ; This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS. dns proxy = yes ; Name mangling options preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes ; This boolean parameter controlls whether Samba attempts to sync. the Unix ; password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the ; /etc/smbpasswd file is changed. unix password sync = false ; For Unix password sync. to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following ; parameters must be set (thanks to Culus for pointing this out): passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Password\schanged.* . max log size = 1000 [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = yes public = yes [arhive] comment = Arhive path = /home/public/arhive read only = yes public = yes [kituri] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/public/kituri public = yes writable = no printable = no write list = @staff [cdrom] comment = Samba server's CD-ROM writable = no locking = no path = /cdrom public = yes root preexec = /bin/mount /cdrom root postexec = /bin/umount /cdrom ============================================================ -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Dan N.
