Hello all,
it's strange. I've installed SAMBA twice, always with success. I've
gone
through the DIANOSIS.txt tests without problems and SAMBA works fine for
us.
The reason for this email: when I use smbclient -L $SERVER to see the
shares on a PC box, I sometimes miss something. Take the following as
example:
# smbclient -L pivita
Added interface ip=192.1.1.21 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Wed Sep 24 17:42:32 1997
Timezone is UTC-7.0
Server=[PIVITA] User=[] Workgroup=[JALEO] Domain=[]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
ADMIN$ Disk
C$ Disk
D$ Disk
DESKJET 520 Printer
DOLORES Disk
IPC$ IPC Remote Inter Process Communication
PRINTER$ Disk
NOTE: There were share names longer than 8 chars.
On older clients these may not be accessible or may give browsing errors
that's all OK. But I also have gotten this:
# smbclient -L pivita
Added interface ip=192.1.1.21 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Wed Sep 24 17:42:32 1997
Timezone is UTC-7.0
Server=[PIVITA] User=[] Workgroup=[JALEO] Domain=[]

As you see, C$ and D$ are lost somewhere... is there any way to see/use
them even though if they are not listed?
What is happening here for this to happen?... is there any known
solution?
SAMBA (1.9.16p11) is running on a SGI under IRIX 6.2 and the problems
arise with Win95 boxes. I still haven't experienced such a case with
NT's.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
M@rtin
