1.) Edited my SMB.conf inside the /etc/samba directory - I changed the default
workgroup name to match that of my Windows 2000 SP2 machine.
I also edited the Public share to point to /home/markdog/apps directory with
open permissions for viewing.
2.) Manually started the SMBD and NMBD daemons- these are the copied lines from
a terminal prompt:
[root@localhost /root]# smbd -D
smbd -D
[root@localhost /root]# nmbd -D
3.) Ran TestParm as Root with these results
[root@localhost /root]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[public]"
Loaded services file OK.
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions=20
4.) Everything seems ok so far: Then I tried running SMBSTATUS with these
results
[root@localhost /root]# smbstatus
Couldn't open status file /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK
(I've read in some FAQ's that this doesn't necessarily suggest a
problem, so....)
5.) I tried running SMBCLIENT with these results:
[root@localhost /root]# smbclient
SSL: Error error setting CA cert locations: error:00000000::lib(0) :func(0)
:reason(0)
trying default locations.
added interface ip=3D192.168.244.151 bcast=3D192.168.244.255
nmask=3D255.255.255.128
Usage: smbclient service <password> [options]
Version 2.0.7
I'm at a loss for how to resolve these two errors:
"Couldn't open status file /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK"
"SSL: Error error setting CA cert locations: error:00000000::lib(0)
:func(0) :reason(0)"
I verify that SMBD and NMBD are currently running, and try browsing the
Workgroup "MARK-HOME" (my workgroup name on both machines), and I have
yet to see my samba Linux share from the W2K machine. PLEASE anyone with
suggestions to help with my problem- I would really appreciate it !
thanks
mark
PS> As a side note - WHEN i do get the share happening, I don't want to
have to manually start the daemons each time. Most of the tutorials i've
come across talk about editing the inetd.conf file to kick off the daemons
automatically, but i don't HAVE that file in RH 7.0 - I'm assuming that
identd.conf may be it's Redhat counterpart?
