hi,

I configured the samba server on rhel6. public server is working fine. but when it coming to private shate it's working. When i type \\servername on run it prompts for password but it doesnt work. it shows error box.says something like

"you might ahve no permissions to access resources contact admin...... multiple connections to server or shared resource by the same user using more than one username....."
my config file is as follows.

same error, if i change security to share and public to yes, it opens directly but password is not working.

i used following command also,

smbpass -a manny.

one thing i noticed is under /etc/samba i found only 3 files

• lmhosts
  smb.conf
  smbusers

i never found smbpasswd file i dont know why.

please help me

thank you.

Try disabling , SElinux or setting it to permissive.should work then.

You cannot see smbpasswd because you are using wrong command to assign password

In /etc/samba/smb.conf

[smb_share]
comment = private
path = /var/smb
public = no
valid users = user
readable = yes
writable = yes
browsable = yes
security = user
server string = my samba

*Note 'user' means username (eg: manny,jhon,....)

If the user is already existing you don't need to create user otherwise create users

#useradd 'username'

Setting samba password for users

#smbpasswd -a 'username' --it will prompt you to enter password

#smbpasswd -e 'username' --it enabling samba user

Setting permissions

#setfacl -m u:'username':rwx /var/smb

#chcon -Rt samba_share_t /var/smb

#service smb restart
