Hi list and Kai
- may I suggest that you temporarily cp your original smb.conf to smb.conf_kai and then try a simple, standard one a la:
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP
Okay, I did that. My only change from yours is the share. [kai] only user = yes valid users = @users, kai path = /home/kai read only = No revalidate = yes comment = KAI
As you can see it only gives you one pretty basic share in this case named "grafik".
Now get samba running, do "rcsmb restart". Later on you would check it in Yast to make sure it runs in runlevel 3 and/or 5.
Now fire up webmin ((localhost:10000) - you DO have webmin installed, right?)) goto Samba. Now convert all users (or just your account to smb users) - and set your samba password.
Alternatively, do #/usr/bin/smbpasswd your-user-name", this will also create a smb user/passwd in /etc/samba/smbpasswd etc.
Did this again...
Then goto konquerer and type "smb://IP-of-your-samba-server-could-be-localhost"
...now I get a little farther. Instead of doesn't exist, I get a similar screen to one I did on my 9.3 laptop when I was trying to use samba. I get the login prompt and then a user failed. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/smb_share1.png No matter if I type in the password for my user, the password I set in smbpasswd or blank I get user authentication failed.
This should give you a list of shares, in this case just the "grafik" share. When this runs, you may hereafter start playing with smb.conf, remember to restart smb after each modif. Do "rcsmb restart"
Yes, I did that also. At least I don't get the pid thing anymore. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
