Samba
I want to know how to set up samba for a Suse Linux 9.1 machine and Windows XP machine.
Thanks in advance |
there is plenty of documentation here
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...TO-Collection/ http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html http://fluffygerbil.com/unofficial-samba.txt hope that gets you headed in the right direction. good luck. |
actually, they didn't help much
I tried to use swat but it didn't work any other ideas? thanks in advance |

everything is in smb.conf
when u find this file and configure it in a right way you are on! |
okay here's my smb.conf file:
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE # Date: 2004-07-21 [global] workgroup = MSHOME printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator username map = /etc/samba/smbusers map to guest = Bad User logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: security = user encrypt passwords = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No inherit permissions = Yes [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit permissions = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit permissions = Yes [pdf] comment = PDF creator path = /var/tmp printable = Yes print command = /usr/bin/smbprngenpdf -J '%J' -c %c -s %s -u '%u' -z %z create mask = 0600 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 |
First thing i see is you could add a netbios name option under global
netbios name = whatever name you choose Please provide more details, can you access anything from network neighborhood, how about from konqueror? Have you added smbusers? You'll need a valid linux user, smb user, and windows user/account. all of this is in the links above, I love to come here and help people and learn as well, but, if your not willing to read anything, it makes it really tough. I'll hang in here as long as it takes, if your willing to "help me, help you". good luck. |
first of all, I wish to use windows as the server, because it has a printer that i would like to use. i have tried setting up smbclient with the info from the guide from an o'reilly book. i've gotten far enough so that when you run the command:
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L xar and then hit the enter key instead of the password it says this: Anonymous login successful Domain=[QUOX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.6) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.6) Anonymous login successful Domain=[QUOX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.6] Server Comment --------- ------- AQUA-Q Family room computer XAR Samba 3.0.6 Workgroup Master --------- ------- QUOX XAR (by the way, aqua-q is my windows machine, xar is my linux machine, and quox is the network name) the only problem is when you do the same command as above, but then type in my password, it only gives me this: Domain=[XAR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.6) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.6) Domain=[XAR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.6] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- QUOX XAR also, when you run the command: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L aqua-q you only get this back: Connection to aqua-q failed Thank you for your time. p.s. go easy on me. im only 12 |
have you set your IP addy's yet?
|
From smbclient i don't see a shared printer, you'll need to do that first. Once you've done that you may have a look here.
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/...ing_to_windows That should get you going. good luck. |
i no that there is no shared printer, because it is connected to aqua-q, the windows machine. when i try to connect to aqua-q it doesn't let me, even though aqua-q is listed under the servers when i run smbclient -L xar, and not type in the password.
i think that is the problem thanks a lot |
Try this, add aqua-q to your /etc/hosts file in this format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx aqua-q where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of the box. Save the file then try smbclient again. What manner did you set up ip's? good luck. |
samba problem
well sharing resources on windows XP is not that simple coz when you come to practiacally implement it on the system ...it gives lot.og problems.....s the best posibble solution for implementing the samba is.....to configure the smb.conf filein /etc/samba/smb.con
the best way to learn making samba server is to ....check this given below link.. http://www.icon.co.za regards |
i aqua-q's ip address under /etc/hosts, and tried to connect to it again, but this time this is what i got:
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.100:445 timeout connecting to 192.168.1.100:139 Error connecting to 192.168.1.100 (Operation already in progress) Connection to AQUA-Q failed thanks a lot |
i tried a different ip address (i have no idea which one is the real one) and got this back when trying to connect to aqua-q:
Error connecting to 24.7.158.161 (Connection refused) Connection to AQUA-Q failed again, thanks |
