I have set up a server with Redhat linux version 7.3 running Samba
2.2.7... initially this was configured using the SWAT. This particular
server is not only a file server but a webserver and provides database
support through MySQL. Shares and users have been set up and the system
has worked fine ever since. From a Winxp client I can connect to the
server and work as though it was my hard drive. So have a "setup" that
works and has continued to work.
In the meantime I have tried setting up two additional servers with the
same configuration software wise and for some reason we will have
connectivity through Samba for a 3-5 days then all the sudden I get
messages to the affect that I don't have permission to use the network
resource. I know this sounds crazy but this happens all on its own.
Absolutely no changes were made on the server to cause this to happen.
I have talked to several people that were more experienced than I and I
had already tried their ideas. BTW I have tried syncing all the
passwords/usernames and the problem is still there.
Below is what my smb.conf file looks like:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/02/20 08:22:26
# Global parameters

Can one of you real techies tell me what to look for to correct this
problem?
