Hi Stuart,
I've successfully installed Fedora Core 4 as a server with default
settings and running KDE. - fedorabox
I've entered it into the DNS. I can ping it by its hostname and by its
IP. And I can ping from it to my machine by hostname and IP.
I'm trying to set up a share on fedorabox so I can copy files from my pc
mypcxp (Windows XP) to fedorabox.
We are on a AD domain (pdc in smb.conf is server1).
Process smbd has 2 instances on fedorabox
I originally set it up through the GUI stuff in KDE - possibly my first
wrong step - and followed the instructions in the help files to the
letter.
The shares I have set up are
/home/akendall/adam_temp
/home/akendall/test
* In KDE, I can browse to /home/akendall/adam_temp - but when I go
through the terminal, the directory isn't showing up when I do 'ls -al'
* /home/akendall/test shows up in both fine.
>From my pc, when I try and connect to \\fedorabox\ADAM_TEMP
<file:///\\nuwvics5\ADAM_TEMP> , \\fedorabox\home\akendall\ADAM_TEMP
<file:///\\nuwvics5\home\akendall\ADAM_TEMP> or \\fedorabox\test
<file:///\\nuwvics5\test> , \\fedorabox\home\akendall\test
<file:///\\nuwvics5\home\akendall\test>
I get the following error "The network path was not found."
I then went into smb.conf to have a look. Here are the main changes that
have been made:
workgroup = myorg.org.au
svr string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.0 127.
security = domain
DNS proxy section
password server = sever1
[homes]
browseable = yes
[ADAM_TEMP]
path = /home/akendall/adam_temp/
writeable = yes
force user = akendall
force group = akendall
case sensitive = no
msdfs proxy = no
hosts allow = mypcxp
comment = Temp folder for Adam
browseable = yes
valid users = akendall
[test]
path = /home/akendall/test
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
