Hello,

I am having some issues connecting my VMWare Session (Win XP) to my Samba server. This is the error I am getting on XP.

I have opened a shell, and ran testparm and this is what I get.

username@linux:~> testparm

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[linuxshare]"
Server's Role (logon server) conflicts with share-level security
Loaded services file OK.

domain logons = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=com

[homes]

guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
msdfs proxy = no

[linuxshare]

I just do not see what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked to see if XP has also assumed the role of preferred master & domain master, or possibly allow samba to specify the primary workgroup name and change xp's workgroup to the one you've chosen to use in samba.

I am not sure, probley not. I am not exactlly sure how it is done in Windows XP Pro, i've been using Linux for so long now..


Any help?

Right click My Computer-->Left click on properties-->Network Identification. This is where you can check and change your workgroup windoze.
