[Samba] SMB sharing under Mac OS X Server

[Tony Nichols]

Try a very simple config file that has no security (just to test).

[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
   workgroup = your workgroup name

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = Samba Server

   security = share

   local master = no

   os level = 5

   name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast

   wins server = 192.168.1.2 (your wins server)

#============================ Share Definitions
==============================

[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes

Good Luck!

Hello,
I've no expierence with the MAC OS, but did you enter the w2k user who
wants to access the share on the SMB-Server? Check if you need password
encryption or not (on the SMB-Server) Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Roland
