I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure
at least one of y'all can handle this one.
I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing
with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've
done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a
legitimate network destination.
Here's my samba config file:
[root at mhullrichter shared]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[public]
comment = Data
path = /home/mark
force user = mark
force group = users
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
It passes testparm, the smb daemons are up and running:
[root at mhullrichter shared]# psg smbd
root 2751 1 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
root 2752 2751 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running - dunno
why, the startup showed [ OK ].
But in the Windows, it can see my machine but can't connect to it - what
am I missing?

Subject: [CentOS] Samba config for Windows on VMWare

Mark,
Have you added the samba workstation to your domain/workgroup?? I don't
see any security settings in your conf file.
HTH
Thanks!

My global section looks like this: [global] workgroup = workgroup server string = CentOS Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no template shell = /bin/false password server = None username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind use default domain = no The workgroup of the windows machine and the centos machine have to match. The default workgroup on windows is "mygroup" IIRC. Note also that I don't have a "security" setting but I don't think that makes a difference.> I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running ? dunno > why, the startup showed [ OK ].You might want to find out why. I don't think winbindd matters, but nmbd could be important.

For example, if you enter \\machinename\homes or \\IPaddress\homes what message do you get from Windows? Akemi

Mark, ?? Have you added the samba workstation to your domain/workgroup?? I don't see any security settings in your conf file. HTH Well, I had it in the "master" file, but testparm stripped it out, so I added it back in. the security = share line is already there. Still working it....

Samba can't use their Linux password as SMB networking and Linux use completely different password hashes.

However, my computer is linked up to a DSL modem and has no subnet, per se, and the DSL host assigns my IP address. So: 1) Is tehre a way I can get around this and give my Windows VM its own IP address (and how)? 2) If not, how would I set up one of the other ethernet types to make this work? NAT doesn't look right for this, and I don't know enough to do a custom network, so that hints to me that host-only might work, but that calls for a vmnet1 device on the host, and I know nothing about this (but I will look - just hoped for a quickie answer here...). Thanks.

Do I just go ahead and mknod /dev/vmnet8 or is there more to it? Better, where is a good (and hopefully simple) reference for this? Thanks (again). mhr
