Sorry for the novice question, but I am trying to set up my Linux box
(running Fedora Core 6) with Samba. On my Windows XP box, I can find my
Samba Server under my Workgroup, but when I try clicking on it, I get
the following error message:
"\\localhost is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions. You were not connected because a
duplicate name exits on the network. Go to System in Control Panel to
change the computer name and try again."
I am running SELinux and have set the following SELinux permissions:
"Allow Samba to share nfs directories"
"Allow Samba to share users home directories"
"Allow Samba to write fines in directories labeled public_content_rw_t"
"Disable SELinux protection for nmbd daemon"
"Disable SELinux protection for smbd dameon"
Below is my smb.conf file:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2007/03/12 18:47:37
