Sorry for the late reply. I cleared out /var/log/samba and restarted the service so I had fresh logs. My client computer isn't available at the moment so I've been connecting locally through smb://127.0.0.1. Anyway, I have these files in /var/log/samba: cores log.127.0.0.1 log.laptop log.nmbd log.smbd. The cores folder is pretty much empty. log.127.0.0.1 is empty. Here are the contents of the rest of the logs:
---log.laptop--- [2007/09/20 18:19:38, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033) laptop (127.0.0.1) connect to service DOCUMENTS initially as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 3221) [2007/09/20 18:23:22, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1230) laptop (127.0.0.1) closed connection to service DOCUMENTS *Documents is a share in my home folder that I made for testing purposes.

Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2007 It doesn't seem to me that there is any help in the logs, but maybe you see something I don't. I did upgrade to gutsy, but it's still giving the exact same behavior. -- Shared external drives cannot be accessed by other computers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
