Did you actually set up a user account ?
Not that silly a question to me as I've not been sure what this means. I have done as root
mbpasswd -a -U Marty
but how does this relate to what I do on a windoz box when trying to access the share?
Is there a line in your smb.conf that refers to listening interfaces and are they the correct interfaces/addresses ?
Not sure; if this means the 'hosts allow' line I believe it's correct
# cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf [global]
workgroup = Face2Interface server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 500 ; security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no
[test]
comment = For testing only, please
path = /tmp
read only = yes
guest ok = yesmost definately not normal behaviour. smbd should be spawing a process as root ie the master process and then one process per user so if you cannot see smbd running then I cannot see how you can hope to connect sucessfully. nmbd is the netbios name daemon so if that is running you should be able to "see" the computer but without smbd you cannot connect.
That helps cuz it confirms what I've suspected that my installation is fubar. Luke, I think my best bet is to rtfm instead of chasing my tail (and bugging others in the process).
Thanks.
