add SAMBA user
 
hi all,

I am trying to add samba user by issuing :

[root@test samba]# smbusers tim
-bash: smbusers: command not found



what did I do wrong???

thanks

Are you sure this is a command? Then it looks like you miss a package. Isn't this file on your system. You can use "updatedb && locate smbusers" (updatedb updates the search database). However from googling a bit I see it's also a file. Maybe you only have to edit: /etc/smbusers?

tangle 07-19-2005 01:33 PM

I always use the smbpasswd -a <username>.

me too.

I have samba installed and a working confiuration and there is no `smbusers` script/program on my computer.

ashley75 07-19-2005 01:42 PM

you guys probably right , my Linux sys admin gave me that command and I think it's wrong. Anyway, I was able to add the user using smbpasswd successfully. Now I have different problem.


on dos prompt of my windows machine I did the follofing:

H:\>net use z: \\test\u01\misc
The password or user name is invalid for \\test\u01\misc.

Enter the user name for 'qhoulinux': tim
Enter the password for qhoulinux:
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.


H:\>


can someone please tell me what happened???

Is you smb.conf set up to allow the user to enter? Is the users local (linux) account all him/her to enter the directory?

I belive smb.conf set up for user please see the below:

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you

I've not read your config file, I'll assume its correct for the min.

Samba won't broadcast its IP in the same way Windows does so you need to explicilty tell windows the IP of the linux computer, you can do this by using the IP address of the linux box:
Code:

\\{test's IP}\u01\misc
or by editing the windows hosts file, c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc\hosts and put in a line like:
Code:

test      192.168.0.3
obviously use the real IP of test

ashley75 07-19-2005 02:24 PM

my windows sys admin already add Linux server to our DNS, another word, I can ping linux server by name and it resolved just fine

tangle 07-19-2005 02:35 PM

Here you are saying you are connecting to the server named test and the share u01.
H:\>net use z: \\test\u01\misc

Here is says the netbios name of the server is oracle
netbios name = oracle

Your share name here is oracle.
[oracle]
comment = Oracle folder
path = /oracle/quorum
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no


Try
net use z: \\oracle\oracle /y

ashley75 07-19-2005 02:45 PM

I am so sorry Tangle, I mistyped name of the server and file when I posted the smb.conf, the server is test and the share file is /u01/misc on the server.


any thoughts???

tangle 07-19-2005 03:05 PM

Try,
net use z: \\test\misc /y

You have to use the share name only. It is not like NFS where you can mount any directory in the shared directory. I hope that sound right.

ashley75 07-19-2005 04:59 PM

Tangle


sorry, I still have problem:

H:\>net use y: \\test\misc /y
The password or user name is invalid for \\test\misc.

Type the password for \\test\misc:
System error 1326 has occurred.

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.


it's weird b/c I already change the password for oracle user and I still have problem.

question: oracle user is a user locally on Linux machine, however, oracle user doesn't exists on Windows, does it cause the problems????

please let me know what your thoughts are.

tangle 07-19-2005 05:53 PM

Yes, Windows uses the user that you are logged into with when mapping that drive. Just create the user account on the Windows box.
