[Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...

[marvc]

OK. I have another question on getting samba properly configured. I'm at
a point where I can see the samba server in My Network Places on my W2K
domain. I've created a share to house the files on both the w2k side and
the linux server. I've also created the root and my user accounts in AD.
Yet when I attempt to access either of these shares from the servers I
get access denied errors. What am I missing here?

Thanks for the help and advice on using the rpm's. The install was a
successful one and I'm on my way. Glad this lists exists and that there
are generally nice people on it who don't mind helping the newbies.

No worries... installing RPMs is SUPER simple. You'll be happier going
this
route:

Stop samba and delete the dir (I believe /usr/local/samba).

Then install the RPM's in this order thusly:

#> rpm -ivh samba-common-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
#> rpm -ivh samba-server-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
#> rpm -ivh samba-swat-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm

You shouldn't need the samba-client, since you won't be conecting that
server to any other samba server.

After install, run "/etc/init.d/smb start". the smb.conf file is located
in /etc/samba. NOTE: once you edit the smb.conf file, you need to
restart
samba: "/etc/init.d/smb restart".

email me if you have any problems. :-)
