Dear Folks, This is a note for all those people out there who had to turn off their firewalls (iptables) to get Samba to work. First start the GUI interface to the firewall by typing [somedir]# redhat-config-securitylevel Click on "Customize". Click the check box for your network adapter (usually "eth0"). Click on the checkboxes for any services you want to allow (I

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

Our Client software used samba protocol,If there is no firewall case , this protocol work properly from remote site.All of firwall configuration open ( this mean is all of port open ). Samba work very well, but if some constrain put in, it doesn't work. 1)I would like to know about port usage of samba protocol. I think snmpd, nmpd daemon used some port number. i can see /etc/service file.

I'm trying to get Samba up and running and having a terrible time. It says that I should be able to run nmap and see that 137 and 139 are open - which they are not. I have not added any restrictions in smb.conf, do not have a firewall running and I have increased the log level to 5 to see all of the messages. It says that it is talking on 137 but it kind of looks like it's not talking

Hi, I am having some troubles setting samba up nicely on my Slackware 7.1 machine. It is currently just a web/ftp server mainly for my personal use at home.

I have been trying to setup Samba on my home network but... it is giving me a hard time. I went to the diagnosis.txt that comes with Redhat 7.2 and tried some of the tests.

I got a second one in that same first test "session request to

Hello. I'm a Graduate Student, and I'm trying to set up Samba on my Solaris 2.8 box so that my team members can network map their home accounts from my Solaris box onto their PC.

Hello, I am still a newbie to Linux, but I can find my ways around as long as I have help. For some reason if I leave my iptables enabled, I will lose my Samba share connection after a few minutes. Of course, then iptables disabled, I have no problems. I am using Debian with Kernel 2.6.14-K7. Is this normal? Thank you in advance. :) -- "Ever watch ants just crawling around? They walk in

Sorry if this has been covered before. I setup a new Samba server using RedHat EL 3, and samba 3.0.2-6.3E (the version that comes with Redhat).
