Samba problem Fedora 6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I installed Fedora 6 on an old HP computer that I have replacing an even older HP that had Fedora 5 installed (AMD366). I had samba running on the Fedora 5 computer where I could print to a connected HPlaserjet1100 printer from my Redhat EL4 server and windows XP computers. I used this computer for a printing and web surfing mainly. I could also access the shared directories from both my other machines.

After installing Fedora 6 on the newer computer and setting up Samba I ran into several problems. I set up Samba to as security = share just like on my REL4 machine

1. I could not get to any of the shared directories on the Fedora 6 computer. I can see them in a KDE smb browser, but can not mount them or access them. Access denied or smb://byers2/homeshare does not exits errors.

2. The Redhat EL4 automatically recognized the HPLaserjet printer on the Fedora Box, and I can print from the REL4 server but not the windows XP computer. Funny thing is that if I connect the REL4 recognized HPlaserjet printer, I can print to the laserjet on the fedora 6 machine through this server. I would like to print directly from the windows xp box.

3. I can see the shared directories on the fedora 6 computer from the windows computer in my workgroup computers, and open the samba fedora computer, but not open a share. AGain, permisson denied.

Everything is set to the minimal for the shares on the Fedora 6 and the RHEL 4 computers
ie
[homeshare]
path=/home/homeshare
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

workgroup = home

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = yes
printer name = HPLaserjet1100
;use client driver = yes
browseable = no
;printer admin = root
writeable = no


I have tried all kinds of configurations and get access denied messages in my logs. I appreciate any help.

thank you
Joe
