Hi there,
I have solved the earlier execvp problem. I had misktaken the smbd and
nmbd files of the installation directory and pointed my script to them. But
now the samba server starts up after placing the smb.conf in the
/usr/local/samba/lib dir. But there is one another question that I needed
help on.
I have listed some shares in the smb.conf file and I am able to see the
shares on the network neighbourhood on Win2000. But I cannot get into the
shared directory [praveen] even though I have given the correct username and
password. It just says incorrect username and password. Also I have the user
and group permissions set to the user and group praveen on the server. So it
could not be a permissions problem. Also everytime I do a smbclient -L
<servername> I get a prompt asking me for a password and when I press
<enter> it says "anonymous login successful" eventhough I have
denied guest
access. I am enclosing my smb.conf, smbusers and smbpasswd files along with
the output of the smbclient -L <servername> output. Please help me by
telling me the steps to share a directory based on username and password and
how to add users to the samba server.

smb.conf will reside in /usr/local/samba/lib if you install from
sources. Also, make sure you clean up any RedHat prior installation
stuff. Create symlinks in the (I think) /usr/local/bin that point to the
new binaries in /usr/local/samba/bin. Run testparm to see if everything
is cool.
RedHat feels the need to change file locations from what other unixes
use. - it really is most annoying.

Hi there,
I have installed samba-2.2.2 on Redhat linux 7.0 . I have setup the
whole
server properly and have run the ./configure, make and make install
commands
successfully. I have even written a basic smb.conf file which is located
in
/etc/samba . The testparm on the conf file shows no errors. i have
checked
the /etc/services file for the netbios services and they are all done
properly
But when I try to start the smbd server I get the following error.
Please
tell me where I am wrong.

Hi Vishal,
Looking at your smb.conf file, you are NOT specifying guest ok = no; since
you have a
";" in front of this line, guest ok = yes by default. and you have
set your
guest account
to be 'praveen'.
Also, the reason that your username/password is not working is that with
encrypt passwords=yes, it is expecting to be able to check the password
fields in smbpassword for the user praveen; you have to explicity set this
using smbpasswd praveen
and type in the password you expect to use.
Hope this helps,
Don
