Hi! I want to install a file and a printer server for windows-clients in our dormitory. I'm using SuSE Linux 6.4 and SAMBA. Every time when I test my configuration with "smbclient -l localhost", I get a message: "lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes". My smb.conf looks like: [global] server string = SAMBA-Server ; hberg 6.9.00 workgroup = bewohner ; hberg 6.9.00 guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 os level = 65 kernel oplocks = false security = user printing = bsd ; 0: hberg 6.9.00 printcap name = /etc/printcap ; 1: hberg 6.9.00 load printers = yes; 2: hberg 6.9.00 log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m ; 3: hberg 6.9.00 log level = 8 ; 4 : verbosity of logfile, hberg 6.9.00 max log size = 100 ; 5 : max. size of logfile, hberg 6.9.00 wins support = no [homes] comment = Home-Directory ; 6: hberg 6.9.00 path = /home/%u; 7: hberg 6.9.00 browseable = no guest ok = no; 8: hberg 6.9.00 read only = no create mode = 0750 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes public = no read only = yes create mode = 0700 path = /var/spool/samba; 9: hberg 6.9.00 When I run Windows NT 4.0, I can't see my Linux-(SAMBA)-server. When I go to NT Explorer, I get a message like: "Server is not avalable." Thank you very much for your Help. Heiko.
