xwing:/home/kai # rcnmb status Checking for Samba NMB daemon dead xwing:/home/kai # rcsmb status Checking for Samba SMB daemon dead Okay, those are Dead. I went to YaST > System Services (Runlevel) and checked on smbfs. It had an asterick next to it and smb. I hit enable and smb started. However, smbfs gave tme the message, /etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured): Not sure what that is. Running rcsmb status still shows as dead. Trying to connect from Windows still shows unable.

Try service smb restart service nmd restart Also, before you do this, go to another virtual console or open another konsole, depending on how you're doing this and do tail -f /var/log/messages as root and see if it spits anything out Also watching and see if anything in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd and /var/log/samba/log.smbd comes up. -- Michael S.

Yast has a "samba server" module. You could have tried that route. Not now that you have it almost working with webmin, of course. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

That's where I started. It has so far led me nowhere. :P -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, usually a good place to start if something goes wrong is the logs. Try (in commandline as root) tail -f /var/log/samba/log.smbd and tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmbd This will cat and follow the log files as they ":happen". Try connecting again and see what errors come up, if any. Report back. Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
