Hi,
Thanks for your help. I set my samba debug level = 3. How to run it with
verbose
logs? I can't find it under samba-1.9.17p4/docs. Where can I find
troubleshooting
docs? Could you tell me the web site address? I can't find it under
http://us1.samba.org/samba/.
I tried running net view \\morpheus (that is our linux) and got the following:
On NTs:
c:\> net view \\morpheus
Shared resources at \\morpheus
Samba 1.9.17p4
Share name Type Used as Comment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
common Disk Public partition
homes Disk Home directories
hongwei Disk H: Home directories
hp4n Print lp
lab1disk Disk Lab1
The command completed successfully.
On 95s:
c:\> net view \\morpheus
Shared resources at \\MORPHEUS
Sharename Type Comment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORPHEUS C Disk
The command was completed successfully.
The main difference, which is also the strange thing, is the share name under
windows 95
is shown as "MORPHEUS C", which is also seen under windows 95's
Network Neighborhood.
Of course, user can not mount it because there is no such a share. On the other
hand,
NT users can mount the shares on morpheus normally.
As for logs, I checked /usr/local/samba/var. After this strange thing happened
yesterday morning, the log files for all Windows 95 machines do not get any new
information. Only log files for NT machines still add information about login,
logout
etc. at the end of each log file. The very last two lines of all log files for
windows
95 machines are
Closing connections
04/21/99 10:23:38 Server exit (normal exit)
with a slightly different time. Could you give me any more help? Thanks!
