Hallo all over the world, I'm a totaly new samba user (that's not true :-) I try to implement samba the very first time!) The compilation of samba 1.9.17p5 on an AIX 4.2 box and its installation was fine...... But the configuration may not. The network connection is using a token ring and is already running for terminals and printers. The terminals are W95 with X11 emulation. After adding all IP address stuff I start with DIAGNOSIS.txt and my installation came only to TEST.3 . After checking all tips and tricks my server is very unfriendly !!!! 02:root /usr/local/samba # bin/smbclient -d 5 -Lmyhostname 01/27/98 14:47:00 client started (version 1.9.17p5) Initialising global parameters Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" doing parameter workgroup = myworkgroup doing parameter server string = Samba Server doing parameter hosts allow = 123.345. 127. doing parameter printcap name = /etc/qconfig doing parameter load printers = yes doing parameter printing = aix doing parameter log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m doing parameter max log size = 50 doing parameter security = user doing parameter socket options = TCP_NODELAY doing parameter local master = no doing parameter domain controller = mydomaincontroller doing parameter wins server = 123.456.12.70 doing parameter dns proxy = no pm_process() returned Yes adding IPC service Netmask for tr0 = 255.255.0.0 Derived broadcast address 123.456.255.255 Added interface ip=123.456.61.12 bcast=123.456.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Opening sockets Connecting to 123.456.61.12 at port 139 Connected Sent session request Session request failed (0,0) with myname=myhostname destname=myhostname Unspecified error 0x0 Your server software is being unfriendly /usr/local/samba/var/log.

Thanx in advance Chris
