[Samba] samba with vmware

[tglahn17]

Hi, Geza and Jaimie,

Thanks for the replies.  I did "ps auxwww | grep smb",
and I get:

root      1966  0.0  0.2  2568 1192 ?        S   
Mar22   0:00 /usr/bin/vmware-nmbd -D -l /dev/null -s
/etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf -f
/var/run/vmware-nmbd-vmnet1.pid
root      1976  0.0  0.2  3568 1376 ?        S   
Mar22   0:00 /usr/bin/vmware-smbd -D -l /dev/null -s
/etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf -f
/var/run/vmware-smbd-vmnet1.pid
root      2987  0.0  0.1  3572  628 pts/2    S   
16:46   0:00 grep smb


It appears that the VMware-installed Samba is running.
 Is this correct?  I wasn't aware that I had installed
Samba with VMware.  I just chose all of the default
options when I installed VMware.  When I do "smbd -V",
I get:

Version 2.2.7a


This is not the "regular" Smaba version which I
installed after installing VMware.  That version was
3.0.2a.  I replaced /etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf
with an smb.conf with my Linux host shares.  The Linux
host still doesn't show up on the Windows XP guest. 
And I still can't run smbclient on the Linux host. 
"smbclient -L localhost" gives:

added interface ip=192.168.230.17
bcast=192.168.230.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=172.16.105.1 bcast=172.16.105.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=172.16.214.1 bcast=172.16.214.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused)
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused)
Connection to localhost failed


Is there a way to delete the Samba  3.0.2a
installation that I put on after I installed VMware? 
I figure if I can at least know which Samba I'm
running, I can follow the appropriate documentation on
the VMware site.  Thanks,



Hidong
