I had a PC that updated from FC6 to F7. On my network I used Samba to
share some directories (it is a mixed network)
This afternoon, after updating I have found that I couldn't share any
directory.....and I could not understand why.
I had a look at samba.conf file and I found that at the beginning of
some lines a ; had been added, I guess from the GUI in System/Server
Settings/Samba...is anybody else reporting same strangeness?? and in a
fresh installation I can't find it (I mean the GUI)
After removing ; everything worked
After upgrading to FC7, I had to do the following to get Samba running
again:
1) Get nmbd running: (it is now a separate service)
service nmb start
2) restore the samba password file. For some reason, it got obliterated
in the upgrade. Hopefully you took a backup before upgrading,
otherwise:
smbpasswd -a user1
smbpasswd -a user2
...
smbpasswd -a userN
Specificly, #1 will solve the problem you are having. But then you may
find that you still have to do #2.
Hope this is useful...
