Hello,
I am sorry to write into you guys so late but I am baffled here. I had this
SAMBA server blasting along a month ago with a DOMAIN at my NOC in Austin.
Then I brought it to a new site and it no worky. Yes, the DOMAIN is
different and I have been battling all day to reconfigure this thing to the
domain. I have lost the battle and have reverted to basic configs which
still do not work. I could use a second or third set of eyes because
regardless of what I do I can not seem to see what the frell is wrong here.
I have dropped back to the most basic of configs because I am going nuts.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf
===============# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.fictx.net (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/09/16 18:10:57
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = FICMX
name = pen-pen
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
guest ok = yes
path = \home
valid users = root %S
read only = no
===================
Very simple. I need to see what shares are available so I do the following
at the UNIX command.
to see the available hosts and I get the following output.
===================[root@pen-pen samba]#smbclient -L pen-pen
added interface ip=10.2.5.10 bcast=10.2.5.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[FICMX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
homes Disk Home Directories
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 2.2.1a)
ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba 2.2.1a)
Server Comment
--------- -------
PEN-PEN Samba Server
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
FICMX PEN-PEN
===================
So it tells me that the share "homes" is available but when I attempt
to
connect for a test I receive the following.
===================[root@pen-pen samba]#smbclient //pen-pen/homes
added interface ip=10.2.5.10 bcast=10.2.5.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[FICMX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a]
tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share
name)
===================
I also get no appearance of the shares when I try to connect to it from a
windows clien. I can see the machine pen-pen existing in the workgroup
FICMX but that is it. It shows that there are no shares available.
Any thoughts other than eat a gun would be helpful. ;) Thanks in avance.
Bill

This is still a lot more complicated than my smb.conf.
How about something like:
[global]
guest account = ftp (or whatever, root works fine but is insecure!)
[sharename]
path = /path/to/share
guest ok = yes
read only = no

Well I am having some positive reactions here. I finally scrapped the
2.2.1.a version that was preinstalled with RedHat and downloaded the
binaries for 2.2.5-1 and I am looking a little bit better after installing
the version.
I am now able to connect to the Samba server with the smbclient locally on
the server. However, I am still unable to get access to the samba server
form a windows client. Get the standard rude blurp and "The nework path
\\pen-pen\maisis could not be found." From the windows client it does
again appear in the FICMX workgroup but with no available shares. Here is a
copy of my new "smb.conf". I really am thankful for all your
responses.
The share I was able to connect to with the local smbclient on the samba
server was "maisis"
==========================# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.fictx.net (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/09/16 19:21:16
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = FICMX
log file = /var/log/samba/log/%m
security = user
[homes]
comment = %u's Home Directory
browseable = no
read only = no
[maisis]
comment = Cool Guy's Test Directory
path = /home/maisis
readonly = no
valid users = maisis
==========================
Thanks,
Bill

Okay I think have been at this too long but I refuse to give up on this
problem.
I did as you suggested and I stripped out the "valid users" as you are
most
correct at this point I want it simple. At this point all I really want is
fo a windows client to be able to connect to the samba server. However
still no dice. I do not understand why I can see the name under the FICMX
workgroup but no shares appear. If anybody has any thoughts on this while I
read through some more docs I would be most greatful.
Copy of the last smb.conf mod job. :)
[maisis]
comment = Cool Guy's Test Directory
path = /home/maisis
readonly = no
guest ok = yes

Andrew, You is the man... I actually ignored the "encrypt passwords = yes" because I had done the client registry hack. I added back and it works once again. Next time you guys are in Austin, TX drop me a line cause I owe you all several rounds of beer. :) Good night all and thank you very, very, very much.
