...on, so I change the path in smb.conf and restart Samba. I try again, but now my Win98 station keeps trying to access /usr/local/samba/netlogon. How come? I suppose that the easiest way out is to put a link to the right location in /usr/local, but somehow that doesn't feel right. -- J.J.

I am less than familiar with Microsoft, so I guess it might be an FAQ... if I click on "network neighborhood" which reveals a Samba server, it shows a list of all shares. If I click on a share, I get a message "cannot find share name". Somehow this does not sound logical to me... what is wrong?

...in allright, but then I would expect to get access to my home directory by issuing (in a DOS box): NET USE H: /HOME For some reason I am told that the syntax is not correct. On the other hand net use /? gives exactly this as one of the options. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? -- J.J. Gerritse M?hlenstra?e 11 D-47546 Kalkar-Wissel Duitsland +49-2824-971487

...the file NETHOOD makes a difference, but I am not sure yet. The PDC is visible, that is, it can be PINGed, I can connect to the shares, I can even login to it, but nothing shows up in the Network Neighborhood, and if I click on the Whole network icon, I get an empty network displayed. -- J.J.

Even if I can find back a share, (which I sometimes can, for no clear reason) then the next message I get is "no access". I suspect this may be a Linux config thing, but I am still unable to figure what ownership rights I should give to the shares: root:root or someuser:users or samba:samba (this user:group does not exist as yet). What is meant by no access: is it a Windows or a

...en/wienk, ari\#303\#253l .jpg": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character (84) If I rerun the same file from my command shell, I get none of these.

I have sent a few messages already, but perhaps I should start from the other side, and give a clear indication of what I want to achieve. Well, here goes... I am working for a volunteer organization. They have quite a few Windows workstations, most W98, and a few XPs (and, currently, one Vista). There is one Linux server, running Samba, and holding all shares. It also acts as the PDC, and

Well, I read quite a few documents; thanks for pointing them out... And I got "it" working... The most important point I learned is P_a_t_i_e_n_c_e! You really have to wait a few minutes after having modified your smb.conf and restarted samba. And you have plenty of time to reboot your client, I am not sure whether you really need this, but anyway... it really takes quite some

Hello, * Here is my current smb.conf . I didn't want to send it immediately (in some groups that is not done) and I have omitted some dozens of shares at the end, which are similar to the ones present. -------------- next part -------------- [global] workgroup = LIEMERS-MUSEUM netbios name = HPserver server string = HP server (Samba %v) # printing = cups # printcap name = cups #
