Logs are very long, if this can help - placed here: http://bareev.ru/temp/samba/

Code:

[root@fedoravmhelm samba]# uname -a

Linux fedoravmhelm 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:28:22 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I add to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts:
192.168.1.204 fedoravmhelm.workgroup fedoravmhelm

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.sam
192.168.1.204 fedoravmhelm.workgroup fedoravmhelm #PRE

/etc/hosts
192.168.1.111 edik-pc-vista.workgroup edik-pc-vista

/etc/samba/lmhosts
192.168.1.111 edik-pc-vista.workgroup edik-pc-vista #PRE

But problem still here.

Does anybody knows is this problem related to following lines in log?

Code:

[2009/07/19 07:22:56, 10] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:getsmbfilepwent(501)

  getsmbfilepwent: LM password for user eduard invalidated

And what this means?
These lines appears in log immediately after samba starts (before i try to access share).

The Lan Manager password for eduard is not valid.

When you create a Samba user you need to create a Samba user password. You do this with smbpasswd.

Code:

smbpasswd

Look at the first message, i already create password using

Code:

[root@fedoravmhelm samba]# smbpasswd eduard

New SMB password:

Retype new SMB password:

Or this is not enough?

not sure what it is but somethin you might want to check out, also can you access the samba share without a user account by chaning the "security = user" to "security = share", and try see if you can access first as a guest.

Now i just reinstalled samba and switched to "security = share" mode and make my share completely public, and it works!!! This acceptable for me.

I think you are right, important point is selinux. Now i know that in fedora it is absolutely REQUIRED to follow SELINUX NOTES section of smb.conf. Even in share mode is need to do chcon -t samba_share_t /share_folder_path for every directory you want to share. So old rule works - read manuals first:)

Thanks for all for help!
