Group, I have installed Samba 2.2.2 on a debian linux machine running debian 2.2 r3. I have been watching the usergroup and and have been reading the Using Samba HTML pages. Here is a copy of my smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = JERVIS interfaces = 192.168.123.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 bind interfaces only = Yes security = SHARE log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 read bmpx = no time server = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY os level = 65 preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No guest account = smbuser hide dot files = no [public] comment = mjervis path = /home/mjervis read only = no create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = yes And when I run testparm I get: htmlplace:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[public]" Processing section "[web]" Loaded services file OK. Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions Then I run smbstaus and I recieve: htmlplace:/etc/samba# smbstatus Samba version 2.2.2 Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- No locked files Share mode memory usage (bytes): 1048464(99%) free + 56(0%) used + 56(0%) overhead = 1048576(100%) total htmlplace:/etc/samba# But when I run smbclient (password I hit enter): htmlplace:/etc/samba# smbclient -L localhost added interface ip=192.168.123.1 bcast=192.168.123.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[JERVIS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2] tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a T ree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) htmlplace:/etc/samba# Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? I also cannot see the samba shares or even the computer from my win98 machine in network neighborhood. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment, Mark Jervis
