I can't share /home on FC4, smbd doesn't think it exists!
(I blanked-out workgroup below - it is actually set but we'll leave that
out of it 'cause this isn't a domain/workgroup problem and server string
isn't worth worrying about)
Here's the config...
[root@whistler samba]# cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = *******
security = share
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
server string =
encrypt passwords = no
guest ok = yes
[Junk]
comment = Whistler Build Directory
path = /home
; writeable = no
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
Here's the log file error...
[root@whistler samba]# tail -2 samba.log
[2007/03/29 09:23:51, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(615)
'/home' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to
[Junk]
As you can see, /home does exist.
[root@whistler samba]# ls /
bin boot dev etc home lib lost+found media misc mnt net opt
proc root sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var
The really weird thing is if I share-up "/", it works but I see about
1/2 the stuff that is actually in / (eg, I see /dev but not /home or
/bin). This is very puzzling to me - usually samba is binary; it works
or it doesn't... not working with some directories and not others...
Anyone have any ideas?
