SV: SV: [Samba] Problem regarding installation

[Daniel Andersson]

OK! I'm sorry about this. As I wrote earlier I'm totally lost... but I will
try to
explain the problem in steps bellow, ok.

1. I installed the rpm's for samba, Version 2.0.2a-ssl I think this is the
version
   distributed with redhat linux 7.0
2. Then I changed the parameters in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file,
   and in this file I added the folowing parameters.

	[global]
	netbios name = STRIKE
	workgroup = SKV (Domainname on my windows NT 4 domain samba is a
part of)
	server string = Samba server
	security = user
	encrypt passwords = yes
	socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY

	[tmp]
	comment = Temporary
	path = /tmp
	read only = no
	public = yes

3. Put the smbd and nmbd deamons up and running.
4. The computers didn't appear in network browser on my windows NT
workstations
5. I looked in the diagnosis.txt and I figured that maybe I can't ping the
computers
   by name so I tried to do that and it didn't work, so I edited the hosts
files
   on my windows workstation and on the linux server, and when I did this
than the
   linux computer become present on the network browser but with the
computer name
   localhost.
6. I tried to connect to this computer and a error message stated that it is
a 
   conflict, there is already a computer with the name localhost on the
network.
   And this is not true, all other computers thats on my network are
computer with
   names of who is the user of them. All the computers do have loopback
addresses and
   this are stated localhost, but they shouldn't be a problem because the
127.0.0.1 
   isn't a public address.

This is the steps I've maked, and it doesn't work, for some reason I don´t
think I have done anything that should be of any problem, but it does
acctually get wrong.

I hope this is more specific, what my problem is.

Mvh / Best regards
Daniel Andersson

You still haven't described your problem :

Your original question seemed to ask what was wrong, when you could see the 
server.

Your latest question is contradicting this and saying that NOW you can see 
the server, but doesn't say what isn't working.

More specific, what are you clicking on, and what doesn't happen that you 
expect to.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
