Doug Post@CACI 10/15/97 04:12 PM I have been trying to find an answer to a problem with samba and canot get any information. I have tried the samba web pages and they have not helped. How do I get into a newsgroup or is there an email address I can send the question to. This will affect many possible sights that may use Samba in the future for NFS. Could you point me in the right direction for help. -Thanks- -Doug Post-
Hi,
I am using Samba v.2.0.3, and I have had no problems for the longest
time. Then yesterday, when I tried to browse my Linux server, it
didn't show up in the Network Neighborhood. So I stopped and restarted
the daemons 50 million times, rebooted the server several times, all to
no avail. So then I downloaded the new beta version, and tried to
install it. Trouble is, the samba site, nor the documentation contains
any kind of installation instructions. Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Ken

I'm running samba 2.0.8 under FreeBSD RELEASE-4.3 and I seem to have problems with win98 clients. The machine shows up in the network neighborhood, but when I double click on the machine, I get the following error: "\\machinename is not accessible. The specified computer did not receive your request. Try again later." I have an entry for the machine in /etc/passwd (tomcat$) and I also used smbpasswd to add it to the smb password list. On the FBSD machine's log.smb I see: [2001/09/14 20:41:44, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(262) Denied connection from tomcat.avatar.com (199.33.206.20) [2001/09/14 20:41:44, 1] smbd/process.c:process_smb(611) Connection denied from 199.33.206.20 testparm does not return any errors. Running "smbstatus" displays: Couldn't open status file /var/spool/lock/STATUS..LCK /var/spool/lock is setup as: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 15 15:31 lock Here is my basic smb.conf file: ;=================================[global] debug level = 9 workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 199.33.206 127. load printers = yes log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes # This one is useful for people to share files [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes ;========================================================================= You'll noticed that it is pretty much a stock configuration file. Note that the tcp/ip domain of the win98 client and the machine running samba are different. Would that cause this error? If not, what else can I check for? Thanks, Kory
