Have you actually tried browsing to \\your.samba.server.ip\share? Make sure the workgroup of your Windows client is the same as the workgroup set in your smb.conf. For your second issue, it sounds like you're not passing yout local UNIX UID to the smbmount command. For example: mount -t smbfs -o username=windowsusername,uid=unixusername,workgroup=windowsworkgroup //windowsserver/share /mnt/windowsmount Khanh Tran Network Operations Sarah Lawrence College -----Original Message----- From: Marek Pawinski [mailto:pawinski@webstorm.co.za] Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 2:41 AM To: David Rankin Cc: suse Subject: Re: [SLE] Samba David Rankin wrote:
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.
