Thanks. Tried with lo ip and interface ip with the same result. No
change in the response.
No log entries about this.

Hello Tony!
What if you use IP address instead of localhost?
127.0.0.1 might better than localhost, as localhost is a DNS-like name,
but as I know the whole SAMBA uses netbios naming conventions.
So please try with the IP address.

Hello.
Maybe a minor samba config problem but searches only show up some
very old stuff and that doesn't appear to rectify the problem.
Once, again, Debian Stretch with samba installed. All I need is to
access a few files on Stretch from a win7 box, and that works.Â
What I can't get to work is the smbclient command to view the status
of shares on Stretch.
smbclient -L localhost results in a password request, then entered,
and the result is invariably this:
smbclient -L localhost
Enter tjm2's password:
Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)
I've tried different users and root with the same result. Tried
adjusting the routing tables and using actual ip instead of
localhost, also with no improvement.
I'm overlooking something, but it's not clear to what that is.Â
Like I said, the connection between boxes works just fine with no
problems.
thanks,
tony
