Dear Fedora users. I am having my days with Fedora setting up Samba. I work according to the manuals and follow the basic instructions but with no hope. It refuses me to access the server.
The things that I set was : Workgroup, server string, password with unix=yes, etc. Well I cant get it to ask for my password and username to grant me access to the server. Got any suggestions or settings that I should look at?
I had a similar problem when trying to set up Samba. I needed to configure iptables to allow smb traffic to my server. Here are the settings I have now:
# Samba access -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 137:138 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --sport 137:138 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1512 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 1512 -j ACCEPT
I don't think all of these iptables entries are required to get Samba to work. However, this works for me.
Hope this helps.
