Hello all, I am trying to configure a SAMBA server to be a pplace where teachers can share files over network neighborhood; the other thing that the SAMBA server will do is be a time server for when users log in. I cannot get the SAMBA server to accept its WINS name, and I can only talk to it via IP address. Below is the contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf Thanks for your help. ******************************************************* # Global parameters [global] workgroup = RENO writable = no netbios name = TIME public = yes security = SHARE create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 time server = yes hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/8 127. interfaces = eth0 lo preferred master = yes guest ok = yes guest account = pcguest netbios name = Time name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast [user] path = /share comment = User files hosts allow = 10. 127. # WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client # Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both wins server = 10.71.10.4 # DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names # via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes, # this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no. dns proxy = no # This one is useful for people to share files [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes ----------------------------------------- This email was sent using SquirrelMail.
