[Samba] test share works, but homes returns with "network name cannot be found
Just built a new server based on CentOS 5.0 which included Samba 3.0232. I also added Webmin as the server is in the closet without a monitor currently. When I went thorugh the generla tutorial with Webmin Samba worked, but showed all root directories, except for /home. That was not as expected and certainly not very helpful. So, I went back and tried again baseed on what I had used in the past on the old server. I have set up the test share directory and can connect to it without problem from either my desktop Win2000 system or my MacBook Pro. I don't have a printer on this server, having switched over to a jetdirect card, but I do see the "Printers" icon in the list at least on the Windows. My home directory is another matter - I can see it and it has the proper comment attached, but any attempt to connect from Win2000 results in a popup window. I get rejected from the Mac too, but of course don't get the Windows popup window. As the Windows popup window actually says something, here it is - top line is the banner -------------- \\Trailrunner \\Trailrunner\dan is not accessable. The network name cannot be found. --------------- Googeling on this has lead me to various old postings but nothing directly on point, and the bid difference I seem to have is that I can indeed get to the test share, copy in files etc... without problem. What follows are the core entries of my smb.conf file, the notations from the log file and the results of what seem to be key tests. Truly hope someone can help me get this sorted out. smb.conf #======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log dns proxy = no ; passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX:* %n\n *Retype\spassword:* %n\n server string = Trailrunner, Samba %v on (%L) ; unix password sync = yes remote announce = 10.20.30.255 workgroup = DJ14847 os level = 20 encrypt passwords = Yes security = user ; passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u max log size = 50 allow hosts = 10.20.30. 127.0.0.1 log level = 3 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY wins support = yes netbios name = trailrunner #============================ Share Definitions =============================[homes] comment = %U's Home Directory is %H valid users = %S ; path = %H read only = no browsable = no create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 [test] comment = for testing purposes only path = /export/test read only = no public = yes ----------- From the /var/log/samba/ tial superspiff.log file --------- [root@trailrunner samba]# tail superspiff.log [2007/04/26 19:11:30, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(146) error packet at smbd/reply.c(676) cmd=117 (SMBtconX) NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME [2007/04/26 19:11:30, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(1110) Transaction 27 of length 43 [2007/04/26 19:11:30, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(914) switch message SMBulogoffX (pid 3764) conn 0x0 [2007/04/26 19:11:30, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(241) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2007/04/26 19:11:30, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_ulogoffX(1618) ulogoffX vuid=105 --------- Testing locally wiht smbclient ---------------- [root@trailrunner samba]# smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[DJ14847] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- test Disk for testing purposes only IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Trailrunner, Samba 3.0.23c-2 on (trailrunner)) Domain=[DJ14847] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2] Server Comment --------- ------- DANS-MAC Dan's Mac SUPERSPIFF TECRA TRAILRUNNER Trailrunner, Samba 3.0.23c-2 on (trailrunner) Workgroup Master --------- ------- DJ14847 TRAILRUNNER KUTAK DN-ROBERTS-5898 [root@trailrunner samba]# -------------------
