samba - May 2009 - Samba Registry Configuration- Cannot open smbconf

Hi all,

I am using samba-3.3.4 on RHEL5.3, my smb.conf is as below

[global]
netbios name = nirvana
workgroup = samba
registry shares = yes




after which i added a share using net conf command as follows

$/usr/local/samba-3.3.4/bin/net conf addshare test /tmp writeable=y

 net conf list
[test]
	path = /tmp
	guest ok = no
	read only = no
>From a Windows XP system When i connect to "nirvana' registry , i
get
access to samba registry but When i access the
192.168.122.153\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Samba\smbconf  I get error  "Cannot open
smbconf: Error while opening key"

Any ideas, how i can access the subkey ?

Regards
Niranjan

I had a similar problem - if I recall it correctly the account used
to connect via regedit.exe needs to have special privileges in order
do change (and read?) the config:

Just try this:
net rpc grant rights <username> SeDiskOperatorPrivilege
