Hi I have samba set up and can see the Windows machine but can not write to it. I try to change the permisions on the Suse machine's /mnt point but they stay the same. Then i try to browse the network from the Windows machine and nothing, the Suse machine does not show up at all. What am i missing here as i have the same settings i use with other distros which work. I disable my firewall and to no avail. Must say nfs was a breeze with Suse 9.1, just this samba is giving me grief. Marek

One thing why I use SuSE cause it's samba so easy to manage, and never had significant problem with it, but never use it as PDC / BDC. Maybe you can show us what is your smb.conf. Is it become samba server, or client. -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.com

Marek, here is a working smb.conf built by hand that shows the basics.
Double check your permissions of /home and /home/group on your box. Why are
you exporting all home directories?? Permission will kill you there unless
the files are all owned by a common group. Also, your password
server=microsoft seems suspect. If it is a default samba install you are
using the smbpasswd file. So you have to make sure each user has a Linux
username/password (useradd) as well as a samba password (smbpasswd -a) Make
sure the Linux and smbpasswd's are the same otherwise passwd chat won't be
very happy. Anyway, here is my smb.conf:

No, not unless you are mapping NT Domains to Unix, see the following from
the samba site:
"Winbind is an nss switch module to map Windows NT Domain databases to Unix.
In combination with Samba and pam_ntdom, a Unix box will be able to
integrate straight into a full Windows NT Domain environment, without
needing a Unix Account database. "
If I understand your setup to be a simple file sharing setup, no PDC/BDC and
using smbpasswd authentication, then winbind isn't required.
Have you worked through the
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.TXT?
Where is your setup failing??

Sorry to be a pain but i have been googling for 2 days and no luck. I don't have the DIAGNOSIS.TXT file on my 9.1 edition. The setup seems to be failing where Windows can't see the Suse box at all i.e. samba wise. I know in the past on other setups i could at least see the printer share, but now nothing. So the smb.conf file seems to be alright now. What really gets me is that i have done this a thousand times on Mandrake no problem. The second problem is when i mount a Windows share from my Suse box i can't write to the Windows share, but can read and copy. Marek

Well on the 1001 time i messed up, i pointed my WINS server in the wrong direction, the first bit is good now thanx. Marek
hosts allow = 192.168.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.2
This is your problem and it should be:
hosts allow = 192.168.0. localhost
***** note the '.' after '0' and nothing else unless you really want to
allow access to only .1 and .2

Be aware that SUSE separates smb and nmb (I know Mandrake and/or redhat launches both if you start just smb). This could be useful if you have e.g. a backup fileserver to a windows server that you don't want to be visable to the whole network.
Do a: /etc/init.d/nmb status And see what happens. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
