Hello samba people, I have samba 2.0.3 compiled from source on a Linux box, in order to setup SMB sharenames to access the Linux box from an NT client. I have swat set up in order to configure Samba, and my conf file is as follows: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 10.65.8.20 (10.65.8.20) # Date: 1999/03/19 15:31:59 # Global parameters workgroup = [xxx] netbios name = PACWEB server string = PAC Web Research Server security = SHARE smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd passwd chat debug = Yes username map = /etc/smbusers log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 100 name resolve order = host lmhosts wins bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY load printers = No local master = No dns proxy = No comment = PAC Web Research Server hosts allow = 10. 127. [tmp] comment = (tmp) path = /tmp read only = No create mask = 0644 guest ok = Yes [davidshare] comment = (david share) path = /home/david guest account valid users = @users read only = No create mask = 0644 I can attach to the tmp share as a guest and can read and write, but I can't get onto my own share (davidshare) by connecting as myself. I can see them though, in a Map Drive dialog box on NT. On the Linux machine (whose host name is tidbinbilla), I get the following when I run nmblookup: /usr/local/samba/lib 1069 # nmblookup -B tidbinbilla Warning: inconsistant interface 127.0.0.1 Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.0.0.1 nmask=97.0.0.0 Sending queries to 127.0.0.1 The netmask looks wrong, and I don't know where it's getting that value from. I've sprinkled debug statements in lib/interface.c but I'm no further in figuring out what is going on. log.smb is reporting stuff like [1999/03/19 16:08:36, 2] lib/interface.c:interpret_interfaces(205) get_broadcast says 255.0.0.0 [1999/03/19 16:08:36, 2] lib/interface.c:interpret_interfaces(220) Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 [1999/03/19 16:08:36, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available.

I sort of expected to see an IP address 10.x.x.x and not the loopback. Can anyone give me a clue? I'll be happy to provide more information, but I don't really know what would be the most helpful. /etc/smbusers and /etc/smbpasswd seem to be normal. Thanks, David Landgren
