Yes, I know, XP-SP3 is very old. It works for what I need it for. I have
some programs that will never be updated for Win 7.
Note that XP-SP3 and Fedora 14 work together just fine, so I'm guessing that
a newer version of Samba is what is keeping me from logging in from XP.
But, I do not know what to put in the smb.conf file to allow XP to mount
a share.
Here is the output from testparm:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[usenet]"
Processing section "[video]"
Processing section "[website]"
Processing section "[tmp]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
# Global parameters

workgroup = VIDIOT
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50

idmap config * : backend = tdb

[homes]

read only = No
[usenet]
comment = Linux usenet area

[video]

[website]
comment = Web Server HTML Area
path = /WebDisk/http/htdocs/vidiot
read only = No
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /WebDisk/tmp
guest ok = Yes
read only = No
When I try and map "W: \\192.168.1.11\website" and use brown as the login
name and my password, it goes off to do its thing and a wee bit later it
comes back with the login GUI. The only entries in the log file are those
resulting from stopping and starting the smb service with restart (in order
to reread the config file).
Tried it with encryption of the password with yes (default) and no.
Thanks for any tips that might fix this issue.
