OK gang, I have successfully upgraded from Samba 2.07 to 2.21a on my Samba/Red Hat v7.1 server. Heretofore known as "homer-01". But here's something NEW! When I issue the "smb start (or restart)" ONLY the SMB service starts. NMB does not start after it. I'm not sure if this is how Samba now looks under v2.21 OR if NMB is simply not launching. If it's the latter I'm not sure what to do! Next, the Samba server broadcasts on the network - meaning the icon shows up in Network Neighborhood on both my Windows 98 and Windows 2000 computers. It also shows up when I do a "net view" from the command prompt of either computer. HOWEVER... When I double on the homer-01 icon in network neighbor on either Windows computer I get an error message. Same for doing a "net view \\homer-01" from the command prompt of either the Windows 98 computer -OR- the Windows 2000 computer. However the error messages vary as follows: On the Windows 98 computer: 'Error 59: An unexpected network error has occurred. Quit all running programs, restart your computer, and try again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.' On the Windows 2000 computer: 'System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found.' I get similar results when I issue the "nbtstat -A <ip address of Samba server>" command from either Windows client. While I'm fully persuaded that the SMB.CONF file is the problem I am pasting it in none-the-less. Any help you can provide is appreciated! This has been going on for some time and has a lot of talented Linux people at www.thelinuxforum.com stumped for about a week or so. /fwa Fred's SMB.CONF file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2001/09/20 23:32:32 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SBCOVENANT server string = %L Samba %v Server [on IP 10.30.10.1] encrypt passwords = Yes lm announce = True lm interval = 15 [home] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%U writeable = Yes [fanson] comment = Fred's Data Directory on homer-01 path = /home/fanson/data valid users = fanson writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes [sanson] comment = Samantha's Data Directory on homer-01 path = /home/sanson/data valid users = sanson writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes [janson] comment = Jonathan's Data Directory on homer-01 path = /home/janson/data valid users = janson writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes [ranson] comment = Rachel's Data Directory on homer-01 path = /home/ranson/data valid users = ranson writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes [root] comment = Administrator's Data Directory on homer-01 path = /home/root/data valid users = root writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes [everyone] comment = Public folder for common, shared data that anyone can read and write to. path = /home/groups/everyone/ writeable = Yes browseable = Yes printable = Yes Fred Anson Technology Architect Anson Technology Solutions Improving profitability via quality systems and support Mobile..................................949.887.1672 Pager...................................949.882.1463 Telefax................................949.770.0215 Email....................................fanson@execuplanet.com Qualifications Brief..............http://resumes.dice.com/fanson -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
