I recently noticed that I cannot anymore access samba shares on one Linux (e4 is f22)
from another (e7 is f19) where I was always able to do so. This may have started when
I upgraded e4 (f19->f22).
I expect a minor config change? I reinstalled samba to no avail. Maybe another config
file required now? I still have /etc/samba/smb.conf.
To my untrained eyes there is no failure in the relevant logs.
The smb and nmb services are running
====================================
[eyal at e4:~]$ systemctl status smb
* smb.service - Samba SMB Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2015-07-12 10:56:16 AEST; 8h ago

Looking at the server on e4 I see

EL is another windows machine that also is unable to see E4 but can see E7
without trouble. Otherwise I can always ping and ssh e7 from e4 and vv..
