G'day all,
I am just setting up Samba on FC6 and am running into a strange
problem - from both the Linux and windows (98) sides there is access to
the home directory share, but not the /pub directory nor printer. I
have read everything I could lay my hands on in the last couple of days,
but still cannot figure it out. If someone can help, here are the
details:
- smb.conf [snipped of comments]
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
workgroup = MYGROUP
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server on Ipex
# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
security = user
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes
# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, cups, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
printing = cups
# This option tells cups that the data has already been rasterized
cups options = raw
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The default is NO.
dns proxy = no
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
acl compatibility = winnt
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = no
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
msdfs proxy = no
browseable = no
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
browseable = no
printable = yes
[pub]
path = /pub
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
read only = no
writeable = yes
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
msdfs proxy = no
comment = Public Files
[simon]
comment = Simon's Home on Ipex
path = /home/simon
guest ok = no
read only = no
Attempts to access /home/simon followed by /pub then the printer to
print a test page from the windows side gives:

'/usr/spool/samba' does not exist or permission denied when connecting
to [LexmarkLaser] Error was No such file or directory
Between these 2 entries was an attempt to connect to /pub share but
nothing logged.
net use x:\\Ipex\pub returns Error 67. Everything else from the Samba
Checklist checks out. Windows error messages are "not accessible".
Access from Konqueror gives an error of "does not exist".
I am totally flummoxed. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks
Simon Slater
