I have been trying to set up my Samba service on a workgroup with 5
windows
2000 professional boxes
and 1 win 98 box. I can connect to the win 98 box and two of the 2000
boxes
with no problem. On the
other three boxes I get "The folder contents could not be displayed",
"You
do not have the permissions
to view the contents of (Computer Name)". All of the windows
machines are
showing up in
"Windows Network".
Can someone give me some advice on where to look for the difference
between
these connections? I have not been able to figure this one out.
The user policy in Win98 is not as strict as Win 2000. First, did you
create your users on the samba server ( smbpasswd -a username )? If
you have the same samba user name as the user name you are logged in
with on the Win2K machine, and the passwords are the same, it should
work if you have a correct smb.conf file and in the smb.conf file, you
have:
encrypt passwords = yes
If this does not work after restarting smb (service smb restart), you
might want to post your smb.conf file here (without the comments).
Apparently I have dug myself deeper becaust now in "Network" in
"Computer" I get an endlessly rotating hour-glass. Sometimes I get an
error about int key string system/smb/workgroup - sorry, can't remember
it all and couldn't duplicate.
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
load printers = yes
guest account = pcguest
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain master = no
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
winbind enable local accounts = no
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy = yes
cups options = raw
server string = Samba Server
winbind enum users = no
path = /mnt/share
workgroup = THINGWORLD
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = user
preferred master = yes
max log size = 50
domain logons = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[public]
comment = fedoramel shared drive
path = /mnt/share
public = yes
browseable = yes

Here are the results of testparm:
