RE: [clug] Samba help

[Rousak, Boris]

Steve,

Perhaps its worth seeing what's contained in the logs.
/var/log/samba/pc_name.log and smbd.log often reveals failed logon attempts
as well as what error was returned. Might be worth posting that as well.

The other thing, is your "trib" account also present in the /etc/passwd file
while the rest aren't? 

Cheers

Subject: [clug] Samba help


I'm only beginning to get my head around Samba (let alone feel truly
comfortable with the bits I understand of Linux).  I have Samba set up on an
RH9 box we use as a workgroup file server/CVS server/workgroup intranet, and
I can merrily connect to the shares I've set up (my user is trib).
However, the guys that work with me can't - either to their home share of
the www share.  As far as I can tell, I've done for them exactly what I've
done for me (although I may well be kidding myself).
All these users are definitely in /etc/samba/smbpasswd.

Can someone please take a look at my smb.conf (below) and tell me where I'm
being dumb?

TIA

Steve

smb.conf

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
