I'm having problems getting Samba to work on Fedora 8.
Perhaps someone has an idea.
Here's the simple smb.conf I'm using:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = users
wins support = yes
[work]
comment = Work Area
path = /export/work
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
readonly = no
printable = no
browseable = yes
SELinux is disabled, no firewall.
When I run "smbclient -L localhost -U%" I get the following:
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
work Disk Work Area
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.27a-0.fc8)
Server Comment
--------- -------
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
I would expect the workgroup name and server name to be listed.
findsmb reports Samba servers on other systems, but not localhost.
I've tried with "security = share" and without the "wins" line.
I've also tried a working smb.conf from a FC 5 system.
I created a user with smbpasswd. None of this makes any difference.
I noticed that nmbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb on the FC 5
system, but that F8 doesn't. Not sure what that means.
Any suggestions?
