I have to disagree. In my 9.0 is type smb:/ and it fails, a fresh install of 9.1 up to date with YOU worked just fine without doing any configuration at all. There must be more to it. Type of network configuration etc. Mine are simple non-domain workgroups. Greg Engel

Further clarification, domain use does not work in 9.1.

I downloaded all 9 of the above packages, installed 2,4,5,6,9 and now network browsing works (in a domain environment) that way it should. One problem I saw right away though is when issuing a df command it now shows my username%password (in plain text) on mounted shares. With the old package the password would show as xxxxx. This to me is a huge security risk. If I were -not- the only one with access to this machine I would install the old packages immediately. Perhaps if someone is lurking here from the samba team they will see this and create a new set of packages to correct this. I will also notify the samba team regarding this. This is one of the risks you take installing packages that are nor blessed by SuSE. YMMV. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Anyone know what libpopt is? I get a failed dependancy when trying 4, 5, or 6.

Do a search in YaST include the "provides" check box or pin libpopt should show which package it is in. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Strange, it shows up in popt, which is already installed on version 1.7.176. Could it be the devel of popt needs to be installed?

I don't have the devel package installed and did not have the error. Perhaps re-install the popt package. You are using 9.1 pro aren't you? -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Likewise - after the YOU update, I'm able to browse Windows networks perfectly after entering the initial UN/PW info. ---Original Message--- 9.1 pro, I got it working. I installed popt-1.7-176.3.i586.patch.rpm from here: http://ftp.idilis.ro/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/ Once the patch was installed for popt, the rest of the samba packages worked like a charm. Thanks for the assitance yet again. Going from a windows guru to a Suse newbie has been a humbling experience.

I have to disagree. In my 9.0 is type smb:/ and it fails, a fresh install of 9.1 up to date with YOU worked just fine without doing any configuration at all. There must be more to it. Type of network configuration etc. Mine are simple non-domain workgroups.

There is more to it... At home I have a domain.

One of my machines, named work (WIndows XP Pro), is not in the domain, instead is a workgroup of the same name.

The situation is as follows:

If work is running, smb:/ works if not, I get an error.

Then again, the machine I'm testing from is not in the domain either!

Update... remote working on my father's home network we discovered the following: smb:/ gives Internal error smb:// gives file:/ (root dir) smb:/jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw/ gives all shares on machine jimw smb:/jimw/C$ gives eternal loop smb://jimw/C$ gives contents of disk C Additionally, we had a hard time getting this to work, at the end, we mounted a share with mount -t smbfs -o username=jimw,passwd=xxxx //jimw/vnc /mnt/jimw/vnc and then all of a sudden things started working... Maybe this stuff will help someone figure out whats going on... Jerry
