[opensuse] v11.0 Samba Woes
When my server was running v10.3, it was the (Samba) PDC for our home domain. Life was good. Even the Linux machines were happy as members of that domain. My domain user account was golden everywhere. Since I installed v11.0 on that server, it will share files using Samba, but doesn't work as the PDC. Every time I run the YaST configuration for the Samba Server, everything looks good, and it always asks me again for a root password. (Can't it remember?) I can't view smb shares on the Linux machines, although they're present on the Windows machines. And I can't use SWAT to configure it, because I can't connect Firefox to localhost:901. The error message says the site appears to be valid, but can't connect. When I try to join another machine to the domain, I'm told that the authorizing user can't be found. (I'm trying to use "root" with the password I keep assigning for "root.") Does anyone know if I can do an "upgrade" to v10.3 on this server, or would I have to do a complete reinstallation? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When upgrading I tend to backup the old samba configuration and restore it after upgrade. Sometime ago an upgrade/install borked my samba setup, and restoring the old config largely sorted the problem, I have taken this approach ever since. Running the configuration test script usually pointed out bits that needed attention. If you have done this and it is not working then alarm bells are ringing at this end :-) - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
