Hi, I don't understand the anomalies I'm having with my FC4 installation. Most probably samba (I guess). Hope somebody could answer this. I have httpd and Samba installed and SELinux is configured to allow FTP and HTTP connection. Other machines connected to LAN are windows XP machines and everything is connected to DSL router through switch. My FC4 machine is not any kind of "Server", "Domain Controller" etc. It is just serving the printer and serving some pages. 1)First problem I don't understand is, when samba service is running, web browsers in windows machine pointing to FC4 machine shows up my served pages. But when samba service is stopped, windows browsers cannot locate the page anymore. Why is so? I thought there is no relation between httpd and samba. 2)Second, even if samba is running, if nothing is shared from FC4 machine, network browsers of windows machines complains the "workgroup is unavilable" but still can see the shared folders of other windows machines. But If I set the "Allow Samba to share users' home directories" under Samba Section of SElinux (I use Security Level graphical interface) and share my home directory, everything goes fine. Again why? If I use kde to browse my own machine through smb protocol (smb://workgroup/myfc4/), it give the "time out" error if my home directory is not shared. I guess the problem is a mix of all three (samba, http and SElinux), not configured correctly. Can somebody guide me on how to set these things up? Thanks for your advice. Deepak K.
