Hello Samba Guru's,
I have been fighting with Samba on my RedHat 7.2 machine on my home LAN for
about two weeks now. Had no problems getting it working on a machine at work
running Debian powerpc 'woody' and Samba 2.2.1a but for the life of me I
can't get it working at home. It appears to be a netbios problem. The box
shows up in network neighborhood and when I do a net view from one of the
windoze machines (ME and W2K). However, if I do an nbtstat -A 192.168.10.69
(The IP of my RedHat box) from windoze, I get a host not found error. I am
trying to use Samba for WINS.
A couple of strange things to note. For some reason I get the nmbd daemon
running twice. Is that a problem?? Also, I can do an smbclient connection
to one of the windoze machines but if I try to do an mount -t smbfs -o
username=bdefreese, password =xxxxx //winme/ddrive /tmp/test I get an error
saying that the directory does not exist??
Here is a copy of my current smb.conf file though there have been many
iterations:
[global]
workgroup = CAMELOT
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.10. 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
netbios name = BDLINUX
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
os level = 34
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
dns proxy = no
browse list = yes
wins support = yes
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
log level = 10
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
[public]
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
Can anyone please help me?? I have read the Using Samba book from O'Reilly,
the HOWTO from RedHat, LinuxOrbit, and Samba itself. Post this problem on a
RedHat mailing list and a couple of other mailing lists to no avail. At this
point it's a pride thing to get this darn thing working!!
Thank you,
Barry deFreese
