Samba 3 is running fine on my Samba 3 box. I have several shares defined,
which I can get to just fine from my FC3 laptop and my FC3 desktop. However,
I can't get to them at all from Windoze XP; the shares do not show up at all,
and I can't get to them by typing in the path. Here is part of my smb.conf
file:
[global]
workgroup = HOGWARTS
netbios name = HAGRID
server string = File Server
security = SHARE
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
cups options = raw
encrypt passwords = Yes
[our_music]
path = /var/shared/music
force group = crawford
read only = No
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
public = yes
Now, I should be able to browse to the share called our_music at least, right?
Yet it does not show up in Network Neighborhood. I've confirmed that all of
the computers involved are part of the HOGWARTS workgroup, and all the
firewalls are set up just fine. It doesn't work even if I attempt to connect
to the share directly using my Linux username/password combination.
Samba is always so much fun. Someone once told me it was easy, but they had
other mental instabilities as well.
