Hi All, Due to a hard-disc crash, I have just upgraded from a working Samba setup running in FC2 to a non-functional Samba setup running in FC3. The Windows XP machine has not changed, but won't connect. Samba is fully up2date from the FC3 repositories. smb.conf [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba Server hosts deny = ALL hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 127. interfaces = eth0 lo printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain master = yes preferred master = yes dns proxy = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes [share] comment = Shared filespace path = /share read only = no public = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes Following through the tests in the diagnosis section of the www.samba.org on-line manual: Test 1: testparm is happy Test 2: client and server can ping each other; /etc/hosts.deny ALL:ALL /etc/hosts.allow ALL:83.104.103.142 ALL:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 No iptables Test 3: expected output, but a password is required [root at purse samba]# smbclient -L PURSE Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- share Disk Shared filespace tmp Disk Temporary file space IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) stylus Printer Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x laser Printer laser Anonymous login successful Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3] Server Comment --------- ------- PURSE Samba Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- MYGROUP PURSE Test 4: seems OK [root at purse samba]# nmblookup -B PURSE __SAMBA__ querying __SAMBA__ on 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 __SAMBA__<00> Test 5: doesn't work [root at purse samba]# nmblookup -B FAX '*' querying * on 192.168.1.7 name_query failed to find name * Test 6: doesn't exactly work [root at purse samba]# nmblookup -d 2 '*' added interface ip=192.168.1.10 bcast=192.168.1.11 nmask=255.255.255.254 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 querying * on 192.168.1.11 querying * on 127.255.255.255 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.1.10 ) 192.168.1.10 *<00> Test 7: works [root at purse samba]# smbclient //PURSE/TMP Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3] smb: \> Test 8: fails completely C:\\Documents and Settings\jonathan\> net view \\purse System error 5 has occurred.
