I've run samba on Mandriva for almost a year without problems. Now the shares are not seen from Windows. Here's my config:
Code:
[yg@serveur ~]$ cat /etc/mandriva-release

When I try and connect to the shares using smbfs on a Linux workstation, I see the contents of each.
When I try and connect with Windows, I get:
Code:
Une erreur s'est produite lors de la reconnexion de B: à \\aaa.bb.ccc.dd\Divers
Réseau Microsoft Windows : Le nom réseau spécifié n'est plus disponible.
Cette connexion n'a pas été restaurée.
which translates to
Code:
An error occured while connecting B: back to \\aaa.bb.ccc.dd\Divers
Microsoft Windows Network : The specified network-name is not available any more.
This connection was not restored.
On the server itself, when I try
whatever the host (localhost, 127.0.0.1, aaa.bb.ccc.dd, serveur), and with or without the -I switch, I always get this error:
Code:
session setup failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
Previously samba worked nice for Windows workstations. Problems started when I added a new user to the system, and then ran an automatic conversion from Unix users to Samba users using Webmin.
From then on, smbd dumped a core whenever I tried to start it, until I rebooted the server machine. Now there are no core dumps, and the Linux workstation sees the contents of the shares. But Windows workstations can't.
I run a daily backup of /etc. Here's the diff of the samba dir:
Code:
[root@serveur ~]# diff -r /.backup/day\=2007-09-10_20.30/etc/samba /etc/samba
diff -r /.backup/day=2007-09-10_20.30/etc/samba/smbpasswd /etc/samba/smbpasswd

(Note that I tried changing my own passwd with smbpasswd to see if that changed anything; it did not...)
Please help!
Yves.
which is nice for a server.
