i have redhat 8 up n running for quite a while, n i've tried samba
2.2.5/2.2.6 both. my problem here is i'm not able to browse the workgroup or
domain which the samba is setup as pdc. in fact this does happen in another
setup i did. this is the message i got when using windows explorer (win98)
to browse the domain: Mydom is not accessible. The Computer or sharename
could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again." by
typing in the path name \\myserver\ at address bar then i can view my server
share.
when checking my log file, this is what i see (log.mystation) :
when i tried to browse the domain ->
[2002/11/19 14:56:55, 0] smbd/password.c:authorise_logon(863)
authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody
when i typed the server path directly ->
[2002/11/19 14:57:46, 0] smbd/service.c:make connection(381)
make_connection: terry logged in as admin user (root privileges)
here i don't understand why it is the samba recognised me as both user and
guest. i have tried on redhat 7.3/samba 2.2.3a/samba2.2.5, still the same.
here is part of my smb.conf.
[global]
workgroup = MYDOM
netbios name = MYSERVER
security = user
interfaces = 192.168.0.1
bind interfaces only = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
min passwd length =3
pam password change = yes
password level = 3
username level = 3
unix password sync = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size =50
time server = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain logons = yes
os level =64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
dns proxy = no
wins support = yes
valid users = @intranet
admin users = terry
[samba]
path = /home/samba
read only = no
browaeable = yes
BTW, for the redhat 7.3 system, initially i can browse the network
initially, just suddenly cannot browse, i use webmin 1.0 and then from
webmin use samba swap to do all the configuration. just wondering is there
anything to do with that.
