[Samba] Configuring smbfs and general samba confusion
My SuSE Linux 10.0 box is set up as a Samba server with WINS support. When I try to to enable smbfs using YaST System Services (Runlevel), the response is: ---------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured) Mount SMB/CIFS File Systems ..unused ---------------------------------------------------------------- nmb and smb are both being started. How do I configure smbfs? When browsing SMB shares, I can see my workgroup and under that my Linux box. (My Windows boxes are missing.) It doesn't matter whether the firewall is on or off. Another curious feature is that typing smb://Wombat/ gives an error, but smb://wombat/Temp works fine (//Wombat/Temp is a windows share). Winbind is not included in my SuSE installation. Do I need it?>From the Windows side, My Linux box doesn't show up in my Windowsnetwork, but I can access my Samba shares by setting them up as network places. Can anyone help? /etc/samba/smb.conf is shown below. Many thanks! # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2005/11/04 13:37:02 [global] display charset = UTF-8 workgroup = FORTE netbios aliases = Intrepid netbios scope = FORTE server string = Samba 3.0 client schannel = No server schannel = No map to guest = Bad User root directory = / username map = /etc/samba/smbusers log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.samba paranoid server security = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY hostname lookups = yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon drive = P:W logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile lm announce = No preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap ssl = No winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 cups options = raw case sensitive = auto strict locking = No domain logons = Yes os level = 65 restrict anonymous = no max protocol = NT server signing = Auto idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 local master = YesT netbios name = Intrepid security = user [include] comment = Linux C/C++ include directories path = /usr/include/ [development] comment = Linux Development Directory - js path = /home/js/Development/ read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes inherit owner = Yes case sensitive = Yes [js] comment = js Home Directory path = /home/js valid users = js admin users = root write list = js read only = No directory mask = 0777 inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes inherit owner = Yes case sensitive = Yes [homes] browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon write list = root
