Hia, I have a problem using the %G parameter. At the end if my smb.conf file I have something like: include = \etc\smb.conf.%G At this way I hoped that according the the group, I can load a configuration file accoring the the users group. Instead that a 'smb.conf.it' group is loaded, a samba tries to load 'smb.conf.nogroup' (guest account is uid=nobody gid=nogroup) WHat I did was that I added the file 'smb.conf.nogroup' with the following settings: [Test] Comment = Debugging.... %U %G In my browselist (Win95) I see a share created as follow: Test Debugging.... Ries it You See, -> it <- instead of nogroup! How is it posible that 'smb.conf.nogroup' was loaded in the first place? But the strange thing is I can go to explorer at typ \\servername\it, and then I see all my files! If I'm in explorer hitting F5, then the shares are dissapearing, If I wait a few secconds (5-10sec) and hit F5 again, then they are back, If I press F5 again directly they are dissapearing again. I'm Using Debian 2.1 (2.0.36 kernel, and samba version 1.9.18p10) Any clues here? Best Regards, Ries van Twisk
Hello all, I am running samba-2.0.5a on a sparc ultra-4 and try to see the security information in Wincenter. The result is always "The parameter is incorrect" . If I access the same files from an NT 4.0 Box I can see the security information. Any idea ? Thanks Peter -- IT, WinCenter Support . Ing. Buero Ermert, Dipl.

With the config below (mapping names, using the samba account to login to windoze) the users will see their own home dirs (and nobody else's) and they will all see the public share. Are you running with encrypted or plantext passwords? It also depends on the password you login to windoze with, and the NetBIOS names of your win9x machines. Put the samba server in the same workgroup as the win9x users. I'd recommend using the Windoze network login (on the win9x machines) as the default, and use the samba username/password to login. Enabling domain logins on samba is optional. If the win95 machines have their own NetBIOS names (ie, different than their user's usernames), then you must map each samba (unix) account name to the NetBIOS name of the machine(s) they login from (in the smbusers file). If you have no NT WINS server, then samba works great for that too.

If you want to use linux as a Netware client, then you need the ncpfs utilities (similar to smbfs, but for Netware Core Protocol). If you want a linux box to look like a Netware server, then you need to configure and run mars-nwe (the Netware Emulator).
