Can't see samba on the network...
For some reason I can't see my linux computer on the network at school. I can connect to it however, by typing it's name in the address, or using SSH and all those fun things, but when I do type in the address, it says I am not authorized to log in from that station.
Why would it do that? Heres a bit of information... security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no And here is the share definition for it.. [iso] comment = iso browseable = yes path = /home/enigx/iso/cd guest ok = yes public = yes read only = yes writable = no |
post up the rest of the smb.conf file.

I will tommarow at school, Most of it is just commented out though. I thought those lines were the only ones that would have any relevance :/

Try changin
security = user to security = share hope this helps |
Have you setup any users?
|
Changing it to Share does work, but then I can't log into linux, only open files that I set to everyone able to read. If I try to log into a shared accout, the password doesn't work. I use:
smbpasswd -a [user] Then enter my passwords, and then reboot the server and try to login with that username and password and it doesn't work. I have tried to make a user, I could try again though, but why won't it show on the network? |
I hope I can help Jeff.
I've been banging my head for weeks trying to figure out a similar issue. And you're going to bang your head too when you figure out how simple it is. The default firewall you installed when you installed linux is preventing SMB access. On Red Hat you can remove the firewall by going to System Settings --> Security Level and disabling it. This probably not the most secure way of setting things up but it started me off. Good Luck. |
It's not a firewall that is causing the problem, because if I change the security level then it works fine for accounts using guest access
