[Samba] Samba problems

Thu Nov 7 04:40:02 GMT 2002

Thank you for your helps.  After I corrected all the spellings and did chown -R Secretary /home/Secretary
chmod -R 700 /home/Secretary ... I double clicked the LINUXSERV at the Secretary window 
client, it did not prompt me for password instead went right to the CH-HOMES folder.
When I double clicked the CH-HOMES, again it is an ***empty*** folder.  I supposed to see Peter
and Secretary folder in the CH-HOMES folder.

My new sam.conf file is as following: -

# Samba config file created using SWAT
    # from chee_ch.com (127.0.0.1)
    # Date : 2002/10/26
    # Global parmeters
    [global]

    ;Basic server setting 3/11/2002
    workgroup = CH LINUX SER
    netbios name = CH-HOMES
    server string = Primary Domain Server running Samba %v
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF = 8192 SO_SNDBUF = 8192

    ;PDC and master browser setting
    os level = 64
    preferred master = yes
    local master = yes
    domain master = yes
    domain logons = yes
    dns proxy = No

    ;Security and logging settings
    security = user
    encrypt password = Yes
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    log level = 2
    max log size = o
    host allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
    samba passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
    password program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n*
    *Retype*new*passwd*%n\n*passwd:*all*
    *authentication*token*updated*successfully*

    add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u

    # Domain groups:
    domain admin group = root at adm

    [homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    writable = yes

    [profiles]
    path = /home/samba/profiles
    writable = yes
    browseable = no
    create mask = 0600
    directory mask = 0700

    [netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Services
    path = /home/netlogon
    read only = yes
    browseable = no
    write list = @admins

    [printers]
    comment = All printer
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes
    browseable = No

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi!

I tried to set up a Samba PDC but so far it is not yet working (3 weeks passed).  I posted my Samba problems to news groups and discussion forums, but the suggestions given were not able to solve my problems.  I went through a few HOWTOs and followed the step-by-step guide, still can not solve my problem.  I am realy new to Linux and Samba and hope sameone will guide me through.

(1) What I did: -
    (a) I installed the samba samba-swat, samba-common, samba-client, and  edited /etc/samba/smb.conf files as following: -

    # Samba config file created using SWAT
    # from chee_ch.com (127.0.0.1)
    # Date : 2002/10/26
    # Global parmeters
    [global]

    ;Basic server setting 3/11/2002
    workgroup = CH LINUX SER
    netbios name = CH-HOMES
    server string = Primary Domain Server running Samba %v
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF = 8192 SO_SNDBUF = 8192

    ;PDC and master browser setting
    os level = 64
    preferred master = yes
    local master = yes
    domain master = yes
    domain logons = yes
    dns proxy = No

    ;Security and logging settings
    security = user
    encrypt passward = Yes
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    log level = 2
    max log size = 0
    host allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
    samba passwd file = /etc/samba/ambpasswd
    passward program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *New*passward* %n\n*
    *Retype*new*passwd*%n\n*passwd:*all*
    *authentication*token*updated*successfully*

    add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Mechine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u

    # Domain groups:
    domain admin group = root at adm

    [homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    writable = yes

    [profiles]
    path = /home/samba/profiles
    writable = yes
    brawseable = no
    create mask = 0600
    directory mask = 0700

    [netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Services
    path = /home/netlogon
    read only = yes
    browseable = no
    write list = @admins

    [printers]
    comment = All printer
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printeble = Yes
    brawsable = No

    (b) I added the Samba user Peter and Secretary: -

    #useradd -m Peter
    #passwd Peter
      .....
    #cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
    #smbpasswd Peter
      .....

    (c) I repeated the steps to create account for Secretary.

    (d) I added root passward to the Samba

    #smbpasswd -a root
      ......

     (e) I did

     #groupadd -g 200 admins
     #groupadd -g 201 machines
     #mkdir -m 0775 /home/netlogon
     #chown root.admins /home/netlogon
     #mkdir /home/samba /home/samba/profiles
     #chmod 1757 /home/samba/profiles

     (f) At the Windows 98 client I change to Client for Microsoft Networks, Primary Network Logon, Logon to NT Domain.

     (g) I copied AutoCAD files to /home/Peter/tmp/  and /home/Secretary/tmp/

(2) What happened

     I re-booted the Samba PDC and Samba started fine.  From the Network Neighborhood of window client (Peter and Secretary) I can see CH LINUX SER.  I double  
     clicked it I can see CH-HOMES (netbios name).  I double clicked CH-HOMES, it prompted for passwd, I enter and I went in CH-HOMES.  But, it is an ***empty***
     folder.  I supposted be able to see to Peter and Secretary folders.  And and in Peter and Secretary I supposted be able to see tmp .......

    I rechecked the smb.conf file many, many times to ensure no spelling error etc, nothing worked out.  In the CH-HOMES folder of window client, it is still an empty
    folder.

(3) What I like to see

    A Samba PDC serving 10 over window clients, each window client login to their respective /home diectory.

What has happened?!  I am new to Linux and Samba, and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Oswald
