[Samba] Newbie - RedHat 7.2, Samba 2.2.5 problem - I'm begging here
Hello Samba Guru's, I have been fighting with Samba on my RedHat 7.2 machine on my home LAN for about two weeks now. Had no problems getting it working on a machine at work running Debian powerpc 'woody' and Samba 2.2.1a but for the life of me I can't get it working at home. It appears to be a netbios problem. The box shows up in network neighborhood and when I do a net view from one of the windoze machines (ME and W2K). However, if I do an nbtstat -A 192.168.10.69 (The IP of my RedHat box) from windoze, I get a host not found error. I am trying to use Samba for WINS. A couple of strange things to note. For some reason I get the nmbd daemon running twice. Is that a problem?? Also, I can do an smbclient connection to one of the windoze machines but if I try to do an mount -t smbfs -o username=bdefreese, password =xxxxx //winme/ddrive /tmp/test I get an error saying that the directory does not exist?? Here is a copy of my current smb.conf file though there have been many iterations: [global] workgroup = CAMELOT server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.10. 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng netbios name = BDLINUX encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd os level = 34 domain master = yes preferred master = yes dns proxy = no browse list = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast log level = 10 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 [public] path = /tmp read only = no public = yes Can anyone please help me?? I have read the Using Samba book from O'Reilly, the HOWTO from RedHat, LinuxOrbit, and Samba itself. Post this problem on a RedHat mailing list and a couple of other mailing lists to no avail. At this point it's a pride thing to get this darn thing working!! Thank you, Barry deFreese Newbie
