Hi,
I have no problems whatsoever accessing and using my GNU Linux user
directory from Windows Vista, but the reverse is not true. My
/etc/samba/smb.conf has this (via testparm -s):
---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
~$ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC
[global]
server string = %h server
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *p assword\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
domain logons = Yes
dns proxy = No
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---
I'm a KDE user, so I go to Network folders, click on the machine running
Windows. A folder "C$" shows up, and then clicking on it tells me that
"The file or folder smb://machine/C$ does not exist. However, it asks
me for a user name and password at other times, so the behaviour is not
consistent. Any advice on what needs to be done would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Cheers,
