I've tried to lock down my Samba shares a bit by specifying hostnames in the
"hosts allow" field.
Fxor some reason, Samba is now refusing *all* connections, even from the
allowed hosts. For testing purposes, I am using "hosts allow = jetsam".
Here's my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = tech
netbios name = sambaserver
server string = Samba 2.2.1
map to guest = Bad Password
null passwords = Yes
local master = No
domain master = False
wins support = Yes
guest account = guest
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = jetsam
encrypt passwords = Yes
[root]
path = /
[tmp]
path = /tmp/
When connecting with the Windows 98 machine named jetsam, here's what
happens:
C:\WINDOWS>net use * \\sambaserver\tmp
Error 51: The specified computer is not receiving requests. Make sure you
are
specifying the computer name correctly, or try again later when the remote
computer is available.
If I try to connect from the Samba server itself, here's what happens:
# ./smbclient -L sambaserver -n jetsam
added interface ip=10.8.1.46 bcast=10.8.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to SAMBASERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)
I'm not sure what could be causing this. I've tried stopping and starting
the daemons, but I still get the errors...
