Group,
I have installed Samba 2.2.2 on a debian linux machine running debian 2.2
r3. I have been watching the usergroup and and have been reading the Using
Samba HTML pages.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = JERVIS
interfaces = 192.168.123.1/24 127.0.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
read bmpx = no
time server = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
dns proxy = No
guest account = smbuser
hide dot files = no
[public]
comment = mjervis
path = /home/mjervis
read only = no
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = yes
And when I run testparm I get:
htmlplace:/etc/samba# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[public]"
Processing section "[web]"
Loaded services file OK.

Then I run smbstaus and I recieve:
htmlplace:/etc/samba# smbstatus
Samba version 2.2.2
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------
No locked files
Share mode memory usage (bytes):
1048464(99%) free + 56(0%) used + 56(0%) overhead = 1048576(100%) total
htmlplace:/etc/samba#
But when I run smbclient (password I hit enter):
htmlplace:/etc/samba# smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=192.168.123.1 bcast=192.168.123.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[JERVIS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2]
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a T
ree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
htmlplace:/etc/samba#
Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? I also cannot see the
samba shares or even the computer from my win98 machine in network
neighborhood.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment,
Mark Jervis
