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?---- shouldn't that be security = user
Yes, fixed it. Doesn't make any difference.
? smbclient -L $HOSTNAME where $HOSTNAME is the name of your computer though localhost or ip should work. You don't need to authenticate (a user)
See above.
what errors do you get when you do... testparm -s
None (after correcting the typo). Apparently, another typo seems to be the problem: "readonly" should be "read only". system-config-samba complained about it where testparm didn't. Thanks for the help! -- Michael Eager eager@xxxxxxxxxxxx 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
