Well, what i meant (i was not very clear) is that i could access for a while
the share but after a system restart (and i haven't changed anything to my
setup, i just wanted to reboot to see what happens), i am now unable to
access the share anymore.

The smbd.log file contains:


[2008/07/23 09:48:17, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1224)
  getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
[2008/07/23 09:48:17, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1224)
  getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
[2008/07/23 09:48:17, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792)
  create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators
[2008/07/23 09:48:17, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758)
  create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users

I have checked iptables:

[root at amsdev-dv09 ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

And tested smb.conf:

[root at amsdev-dv09 ~]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[share]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

[global]
        workgroup = ACME
        realm = EU.ACME.COM
        server string = %h
        security = SHARE
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        local master = No
        dns proxy = No
        wins server = 10.130.12.120
        ldap ssl = no
        cups options = raw

[share]
        path = /home/acn/share
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

[root at amsdev-dv09 ~]# smbd -V
Version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1
