Hello SAMBA Group, since three days I'm trying to find a solution for my Problem without any result. I have a small PC104 PC installed with linux. Ther is no distri- bution installed but all things I need to start the system, to login by serial connection or telnet. Now the system must be connected to my LAN to save some network data. I created the path /usr/local/samba/bin and put the 'nmbd' ans 'smbd' files in. The smb.conf is also installed at ../samba/lib. I can find the machine from my Windows Systems, can create new files, new directories, can delete everything I created before but: I cannot edit previous created files. If I try to open a file with a Windows editor I get the message 'Ein unerwarteter Netzwerkfehler ist aufgetreten'. Sorry but my Windows is german. This message means something like 'an unexpected network error occured'. I think there is something missing by the linux installation but I dont know where to search. I did not implement the mechanism for shadow passwords, but I tryed to rename the /etc/shadow file at another linux box with fine working samba. This box can work without this file, so I think it's not the reason for my problem. Is there anybody owning a list with all necessary procs etc. that samba needs to run? greetings Christian Dipl.-Ing. Christian Rothe Dipl.-Ing.
