Hi Folks,
I've been using linux for the past 4 years. I'm currently running RH 6.2
and samba 2.0.6.
My goal has been to eliminate MS from my computer and I'm almost there.
I'm
trying to use samba to allow printing to my printer from other W95 & W98
computers. I've read the HOWTOs and generated the smb.conf file which is
at the end of this message. I used the [test] share to make sure (or so I
thought) that samba is working and in fact I can copy a file from a W98
machine to my linux server.
My problem is when I try to print. The W98 computer says that the
connection is refused. I suspect that this is due to nmb (I'm not running
named), but I don't know how to fix it. After the smb.conf file I've
appended a short version of my nmbd.log file (just from 4 minutes of
operation...from startup to shutdown). I really don't understand what
these errors mean and how to fix them. Would someone please help
me? (Sorry for the length of the message, but I wanted to include
everything that might be helpful to resolving my problem)
Many thanks,
Mark
