How to get Win 3.x, NT, W95 and W98 to all talk to Samba server
A couple of digests ago, someone posted fix to get W'59 and W'98 clients to be able to talk to a Samba server. We didn't modify the source and recompile, but instead simply returned the offending switch (nt support) to the default, and life was fine. Or so we thought. Now, Win 3.x machines cannot see the shares. So, we add (I believe only) "browseable=yes" and those work, but now Win '95 without the service pack fails. Surely there is some way to get all Win 3.x, NT, Win 95 and Win 98 to talk at the same time. Isn't there? Here's the relevant portion of smb.conf: [global] workgroup = AUSTIN-LAB netbios name = TEMPCERB netbios aliases = TEMPCERB-RW server string = Samba 2.0.5a, Solaris 2.6 interfaces = 146.84.30.56/24 69.1.18.60/24 security = SHARE log level = 3 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m load printers = No wins server = 69.1.1.8 69.1.1.9 146.84.26.107 146.84.26.105 printing = qnx mangled names = No socket options = TCP_NODELAY max log size = 50 guest account = nobody [staging] comment = VTL-Austin Staging Filesystem (Samba, Read-Only) path = /tivoli/staging guest ok = Yes default case = upper Also, where can I get info on the particular modes listed under "Sharing" in the SWAT status page? I'd like to know why I'm getting both "DENY_WRITE" (which is what I want) and "DENY_DOS" (no idea why).
