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 printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = No security = user [grafik] comment = GRAFIK path = /home/vk/Documents/Grafik read only = No valid users = @users, vk 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. Then goto konquerer and type "smb://IP-of-your-samba-server-could-be-localhost" 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.

Um, never heard of it. I have it now. http://www.webmin.com/ It isn't included in smart - that came up with something called webpin. Oh, and it is https://localhost:10000/ - need the SSL portion. I decided to trust myself and accepted my certificate. :) See enclosed screenshot and at: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/smb_share.png
goto Samba. Now convert all users (or just your account to smb users) - and set your samba password.
Not quite sure where that part is - i messed around with webmin and haven't had success yet.
Alternatively, do #/usr/bin/smbpasswd your-user-name", this will also create a smb user/passwd in /etc/samba/smbpasswd etc.

Did that. This is way too complicated. I'm actually very annoyed - not that I have an excuse for a free OS - that I can't just right-click a folder in Konqueror and have this "just work." -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

Kai, Perhaps I missed this in the threads, but are you sure you have the proper permissions set on the directory/files you are having Samba access? Samba can access what you point it to, but the basic permissions in your linux file system also need to be set to allow that user as well. You have to set both. I've never used this for a specific user, but have a share set up with file access to allow guests and all users can read/write. This suits my particular purpose for home network sharing. Fine tuning that should work. In older versions of Suse, Swat worked very well, and still probably does, but I find the Yast Samba tools to be very good now.

I'm not the expert on permissions, but what you have looks good to me. Just to rule that out, you could try setting them temporarily to all users, without specifying a user, try all users. That would rule out local permissions as your issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think one needs to get back to basics.... a) Can you browse the workgroup? i.e can you see all the machines in the workgroup, from all of the machines which are supposed to be in the workgroup? b) ditto with shares Once you have established this is working correctly, then is the time to try working with the url based access. MS workgroup networking depends on each machine maintaining a list of resources on the network, this can go seriously out of whack and you will get problems when it happens. Unfortunately, on the windows side the problem is not always easy to fix. It might be worth looking in the logs for browser issues if browsing is not producing the expected results.

So, how does one handle multiple workgroups/domains? For example, at home my workgroup is WORKGROUP. At work it is VIMS. At my father-in-law's house, it is GERRY. Do I need to change Samba all the time for this? I hadn't a problem connecting out. Maybe I'll stick with kpf.

Well I would set up each workgroup w/ a samba server that I am a user on and then browse the entire network and then each workgroup that I would need @ the time.

Um, because teh SWAT team told me to write that? Actually, I just gave what the SWAT utility wrote. Is that wrong? ... I actually just did some searching. Apparently there's a command-line utility called testparm that can be run as root. It shows what samba will do with the current configuration file.

Kai, I haven't followed the whole thread, but if you want to make connections easier either from linux->remote smb shares or from windows -> remote smb shares, I have a few tricks for you. First Linux -> smb; Just define a place to mount the remote shares (I just use /mnt) and then a simple bash script will take care of the mounts for you. I just write a mount script for each machine, and then if I have multiple machines in a group, just combine the calls in a second group script. Here is what I use for a machine script: #!/bin/bash # check_root however you do it. SERVER="//nemesis" if smbclient -U% -L${SERVER} >/dev/null 2>&1; then OPTS=$(cat /home/david/bin/mntops_dcr) SHARE="/config" MPOINT="/mnt/nemesis-cfg" if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then echo "${MPOINT} already mounted" else if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1 fi mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS} fi SHARE="/samba" MPOINT="/mnt/nemesis" if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then echo "${MPOINT} already mounted" else if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1 fi mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS} fi SHARE="/david" MPOINT="/mnt/nemesis-david" if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then echo "${MPOINT} already mounted" else if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1 fi mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS} fi exit 0 The mntops_dcr (mount options) file is: -o username=david,uid=1000,credentials=/home/david/.dcr/mountcfile,noperm NOTE: remove the ',noperm' for regular users, it provides 'root' access (which is very handy for remote admin of linux boxes, but not for regular users). The credentials file protects the user/passwd with permissions of 0600. The contents: username=yourusername password=yourpassword To sew multiple machines together in a group, so you are mounting all the needed shares on a local lan, simply combine the calls: #!/bin/bash sudo /home/david/bin/mount_nemesis sudo /home/david/bin/mount_nirvana sudo /home/david/bin/mount_zion That's it for the linux->smb side. For windows a slick batch file can be put in the startup folder of the startmenu to handle things. It will handle multiple locations as well and test for the available machines. In its DOS glory: @echo off net use /delete * for /f "skip=3" %%i in ('net view') do ( if %%i==\\NIRVANA ( net use f: \\nirvana\samba net use g: \\nirvana\config net use h: \\nirvana\david ) if %%i==\\BONZA ( net use f: \\bonza\samba net use g: \\bonza\config net use h: \\bonza\david ) if %%i==\\NEMESIS ( net use i: \\nemesis\config ) if %%i==\\PROVIDENCE ( net use i: \\providence\config ) if %%i==\\ZION ( net use j: \\zion\config ) ) These scripts have taken care of 99% of all the connection needs I have had with samba. Note: this is in a non-domain login (or stand alone) samba environment. If you are using domain logins, you can adapt the login scripts as needed. Hopefully this will save some work. -- David C.

Have you tried to use /etc/fstab or /etc/samba/smbfstab? The latter has permissions set to 0600 to protect credentials. Both - /etc/fstab and /etc/samba/smbfstab - are checked by the /etc/init.d/smbfs init script if a SMB/ CIFS share needs to be mounted. The name smbfs has its roots in the past when smbfs was used instead of cifs. Nowedays only cifs is supported on kernel level. smbfs got removed from SUSE and upstream kernels. Missing is a restart of the init script if the traditional network scripts (not NetworkManager) are used. NetworkManager handles this by the /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/smbfs.

Kai, The helpful part about the scripts for me is moving my laptop between home and work, etc.. We have 3 boxes offering samba shares at each location. With the scripts, I just have an icon and a little popup menu that allows me to select whether I mount the shares for home or for the office.

SWAT? I think that was a television show I watched in the '70s.
According to YaST/SMART the only thing with swat is myspell-swati.

BTW Reading the Howto for Samba 3 as recommended elsewhere is a very good idea... You will need to enable swat via xinetd in YaST before you can use it on a regular basis.

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"
Did that.
This is way too complicated. I'm actually very annoyed - not that I have an excuse for a free OS - that I can't just right-click a folder in Konqueror and have this "just work."
Hi list, - sorry to hear about all your problems with this. It should be quite straight forward, really. The something rotten in the state of Den..., however. You did modif the smb.conf file I sent you to reflect your directory structure in order to share out a directory of your choice? Sorry for the "smbpasswd" thing, it should be with the -a option. Apart from that, I do think that there should be a samba-user defined. As stated I use webmin for that, I fire up webmin and do: "Samba Windows File Sharing", "Section Samba Users/Convert Unix users to Samba users", "Don't convert or remove these users:-999, 1001-" - as my userID is 1000 (I was the first user on this machine). This gives me myself as a SMB user. I may now return to the share list and do "Edit Samba users and passwords" in which I click on my username and hence give myself a new (SMB...) password. Done. The first thing I see, is that the "smb://kai@192.168.0.101" doesn't give you a server at all. This (to me) indicates that SMB isn't running at all... When I do a "#netstat -apn | grep -i listen", I get: "tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6050/smbd" - which to me indicates that SMB indeed is alive and ready. To get SMB started I did (I'm on SuSE10.3): "#rcsmb restart", which gives me: dell-103:/home/vk # rcsmb restart Shutting down Samba SMB daemon done Starting Samba SMB daemon done I hope this is of help to you :-) I also take the liberty to call for others in the list/thread to keep at it, as I (and Kai most likely :-)) would really like to know what could keep this seemingly trivial SMB thing to actually just run.

Hmm... It can be very difficult to get the initial samba configuration right but when you have it running it very solid. IMHO SWAT is probably the best tool for setting up samba for someone who dislikes working from the command line (forget webmin). Have a quick look at man swat. What is not clear here whether you are using this in your home setup, or your work setup, and which version of windows is involved (networking capabilities vary between versions). Microsoft networking can get quite involved and some of the legacy protocols are no longer actively supported. If this is a work environment with AD there is likely to be a bit of work to be performed to allow both machines to communicate. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

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:

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.

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

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.

I think we're very close now :-) In konqueror, do: smb://localhost/kai - give it the username and pw that you told it to use through smbpasswd and so forth... -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm assuming that the windows box is on the work group called WORKGROUP, correct? Otherwise, WORKGROUP above should be the same as the workgroup name that you are using. And why are we still not looking @ logs? comb through /var/log/samba/log.nmbd and /var/log/samba/log.smbd -- Michael S.

Kai, Can I refer you to "Samba 3 by example" at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ You'll find this to be very useful and informative. Can I also suggest that wireshark (formerly ethereal) is a Really Useful Tool that everyone who is troubleshooting network issues should get familiar with. Another tip: if you're not running a local dns server make sure that your samba server is listed in your hosts file on both the Windows and Linux clients. Read man smb.conf and take note of the default settings. You can strip out of your config file anything other than what you want to change from the default setting.

So, I keep seeing localhost here and are you trying to connect to the machine from that machine? IE if connecting to localhost you should be working on that machine in some way. If trying to connect to that machine via another machine it should be smb://machinename/kai -- Michael S.
