Trying to troubleshoot Samba

[Mark Jervis Sr.]

Dear Sirs,

I am trying to install samba here is the results of some of the tests I
cannot access any shares. Please advise. :-)


debian:/var/log# smbstatus

Samba version 2.0.7
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
debian:/var/log#


debian:/var/log# smbclient -L localhost -U%
added interface ip=192.168.123.5 bcast=192.168.123.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

session request to LOCALHOST failed (code 0)
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Broken pipe.

debian:/var/log# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

Didn't think you needed the long list of definitions here. :-)

Any ideas please let me know ... I am reading the using samba html pages
but I am not that familar with everything I am reading.

My goal is to have samba running on my debian linux box to mimic an NT
server for shares and printer support.

Thanks,
