Tue Dec 29 20:47:12 MST 2009

Dear All

I just try learn installing samba + webmin

Now I have 2 box wih them.
The first box is work well (workgroup mode)
But he 2nd one is failed, although I copy the configuration from box#1

Here is the config

[global]
    passwd chat debug = yes
    name resolve order = wins bcast hosts
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n 
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
    idmap gid = 15000-20000
    add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
    delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
    add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    domain master = yes
    encrypt passwords = yes
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    wins support = true
    netbios name = erp
    writeable = yes
    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
    idmap uid = 15000-20000
    default = global
    unix password sync = yes
    remote announce = 192.168.0.0
    workgroup = gendhis
    os level = 64
    add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u
    security = user
    add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false/ -d 
/var/lib/nobody %u
    delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u
    log level = 3
    domain logons = yes
[homes]
    comment = Home
    valid users = %S
    read only = no
    browsable = no
[netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Service
    path = /hdd2/samba/netlogon
    admin users = Administrator
    valid users = %U
    read only = no
[profile]
    comment = User profiles
    path = /hdd2/samba/profiles
    valid users = %U
    create mode = 0600
    directory mode = 0700
    writable = yes
    browsable = no
[bag_umum]
    path = /hdd2/samba/groupfiles/bag_umum

Here is the involved directory
bino at erp:/hdd2$ ls -lR samba
samba:
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   4096 2009-12-30 09:34 groupfiles
drwxrwx--x 2 root users 16384 2009-12-29 14:36 lost+found
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users  4096 2009-12-29 14:48 netlogon
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users  4096 2009-12-29 14:48 profiles
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   4096 2009-12-29 14:50 users
samba/groupfiles:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root umum 4096 2009-12-30 09:34 bag_umum

And here is taken from /etc/group
umum:x:1001:umum01

And here is taken from /etc/passwd
umum01:x:1001:100:Oemoem 01:/home/umum01:/bin/false

And here is taken from /etc/samba/smbusers
root=administrator
nobody=guest
nobody=smbguest
nobody=pcguest

And here is taken from /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost
192.168.10.234    erp.gendhis    erp
192.168.10.234    samba.gendhis    samba
192.168.10.17    inaxnotebook

Note : inaxnotebook is test client station, XP-Pro

Symptom (From the test client station):
1. Connecting to the Inaxsmb workgroup (serve by box#1):
a.  From "mycomputer" , right click and "properties"
b.  From "computername" tab , I change the workgroup to  "INAXSMB" and 
click "OK" ... it poped up  a welcome msg and ask me to reboot
c.  After reboot , Right click start button and "explore"
d.  Click on "My network places" --> "entire Network" , it shows both 
workgroup :
+++ "Inaxsmb" --> served by "box#1"
+++ "Gendhis" ---> served by "box#2"

e. Click on "Inaxsmb" , it shows the description of "box#1" and also 
it's own name
f. Click on "box#1" description , it poped up a login window asking for 
username and passwd
g. and after authentication , it shows all shares normaly

After this test , I reboot the test client station , just to make sure 
clean up all connection
After reboot , here is the step i made and what I got
2. Connecting to gendhis workgroup (serve by box#2) :
a.  From "mycomputer" , right click and "properties"
b.  From "computername" tab , I change the workgroup to  "GENDHIS" and 
click "OK" ... it poped up  a welcome msg and ask me to reboot
c.  After reboot , Right click start button and "explore"
d.  Click on "My network places" --> "entire Network" , it ONLY shows 
workgroup :
+++ "Gendhis" ---> served by "box#2"
Note(A) : this is diferent response I got from step 1.d
e. Click on "Gendhis" , It poped up an error msg window that say :
"
Gendhis is not accesible. You might not have permission to use this 
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to findout if 
you have access permissions

The network path was not found.
"

Note(B) : this is diferent response I got from step 1.e

So , Kindly please give me your enlightment  ... whats wrong with my 
configuration.

Just for reference, here is copy of box#1's smb.conf
