Hi All,
I am having some trouble getting samba
to work. Any help and/or pointers would
be helpful. When I type: 
% smbclient -L localhost
I get:
 Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        public         Disk      Public Stuff
        test           Disk      first test for samba
        IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server on Caldera
OpenLinux)
        ps1            Printer
        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            ------- 
    
There is no Server, Comment, Workgroup or Master.
Where are these configured? In my smb.conf there is 
no mention of these items. Is there another file that 
I need to edit? Attached please find my smb.conf.
As Always
Thanks in Advance,
Willis...................

Attached please find my smb.conf.This smb.conf you posted is not the one Samba uses: smbclient reports a share named "test", which is not in your smb.conf. Instead in your smb.conf is a share named "data" which is not reported by smbclient. You can start smbd and nmbd with the option "-s /path/to/smb.conf" or investigate which smb.conf is used by trying something like strings smbd | grep smb.sonf Regards, Robert -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Robert.Dahlem@gmx.net Fax +49-69-432647 --------------------------------------------------------------- Sent using PMMail (http://www.pmmail2000.com) - fast, decent, email software; far better than Outlook.
