Hi,
I am new to Linux, I am using RedHat version 6.0 and Samba 2.0.5a. I try to
set up a Samba Server for a LAN.
So far everything (i.e. installation) worked fine, I installed samba from
.rpm and nmbd, smbd is started at boot successfully. I can see the Samba
server in the Windows95 network environment, but when I doubleclick on it
or when I try to smbmount a service from another Linux machine I get
1.) in Windows the error "\\[hostname] is not available. This computer
does not (want to) receive demands. Repeat this process later." (orig. in
German: "\\[hostname] ist nicht verf?gbar Der angegebene Coputer empf?ngt
keine Anforderungen. Wiederholen Sie den Vorgang sp?ter.");
2.) in Linux the error (when using smbmount from another machine (I already
tested to smbmount a windows95 directory on a win95 machine from this Linux
machine and it worked.)):
smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL
smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL
mount error: Invalid argument
What can I do ? I modified the server's /etc/smb.conf many times. Here is
it:
# /etc/smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
server string = Samba Server ZAPHOD
map to
guest = Bad User
null passwords = Yes
password level = 2
username level
= 5
log level = 2
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 100
announce as = win95
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2.
127.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%u
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path /var/spool/samba
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
[public]
comment Public Stuff
path = /home/public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
I already tried several SAMBA versions (2.0.3, 2.0.5a), but always the same
problem occured. Smbmounting a windows95 directory from the smb server
works fine.
Can anyone please help me ?
I really don't know what to do next.
Thanks a lot in advance
Chris Dietrich
P.S.: I hope this is the right mailing list for these samba tech questions
