Hello team! My relative newbie status to linux is preceded only by my Samba newbie status. To make a long story short.......The powers to be at work decided it was time to purchase a genuine server, they had enough peer-to-peer networking, and money was a concern and the budget was low. So I opted for a Dell Poweredge 2300 with RH Linux 6.0 pre-installed since I had already been using linux at home. A friend told me that Samba was the sure fire way to keep the peace between Linux and Windows. Ever since then I have clocked countless hours in finding out just how Samba works and subscribing to your mailing list will help out even more. Many thanks in advance and I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Josh Flechtner 527 E. Sandusky St. Findaly OH 45840 U.S. jafgon@bright.net
I am having nothing but problems getting samba up and running. I have it running on RedHat 8. I have reinstalled RedHat twice to make sure I have a clean install. I can see the server from my Windows XP machine using network neighbors, but when I double click on it I get: Path not found. Any and all help would be appreciated, even pointing me to a good online help. I have tried all the ones I can find. Thanks Gary Douglas garydouglas@sbcglobal.net -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Samab doesent work very well with XP. But you can go to samba.org and look for a patch for it. --- garydouglas@sbcglobal.net skrev: > I am having nothing but problems getting samba up> and running.

Gary, You have gone through the website under Support/Troubleshooting links, right? See also ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/customers/samba/SAMBA_Troubleshooting.rtf If you're using NT domains (not simple "workgroups"), you have an extra level of troubleshooting to perform since you're adding a password server to the mix. Ideally you'd want to be sure Samba is configured correctly in simple cases, before adding more complexity. If these docs *don't* provide an obvious solution... at least some of these tests will fail and you will have more precise information. IF it's safe to do so, shut down ipchains on the Red Hat box to eliminate it as a source of interference. Good luck, Scott . -----Original Message----- From: garydouglas@sbcglobal.net [mailto:garydouglas@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 12:53 PM To: Samba Subject: [Samba] new user I am having nothing but problems getting samba up and running.

Cary and Scott: Not to be critical, but.... You need to shut down "iptables" not "ipchains" RedHat 8.0 uses the new iptables as default. You have to force an install of "ipchains" if you want it. As root: "service iptables stop" to stop them temporarily (until next reboot), "chkconfig --level=2345 iptables off" to stop them for good.

To whom it my concern: I have just started working with LINUX 7.1, and for a while all was well, but know my boss wants me to share my workstation with the other in the office, and they all are TCP/IP and on windows XP. I dual boot Windows XP and Linux on my machine. Please help! Riaan -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
