Access Denied in Windows Any suggestions?
Here's the smb.conf file:
[global]
workgroup = corp
server string = Samba Server2
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
security = domain
password level = 8
username level = 8
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
dns proxy = no
guest account = ftp
null passwords = yes
browseable = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
printable = yes
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
[root@FLCBU samba]#

Does windows ask for username/password?

No it doesn't. The samba server appears on the Windows network. When it is clicked it displays and error "access denied....."

smbstatus in the Linux box shows this:

[root@FLCBU /etc]# smbstatus

Samba version 2.2.5
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------

No locked files

[root@FLCBU /etc]#


Also testparm shows this:[root@FLCBU /etc]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

typically, when I try to connect to my samba servers, I connect to the share directly. ex //thenameoripoftheserver/share - it might also have something to do with the "domain" security mode. Unless I'm running that box as a Primary Domain Controller, I usually use "user" mode. Try connecting to your tmp share directly and tell me what happens...

network path not found. I tried under command prompt: //10.2.1.12/tmp

I'll try that config on my box...just a sec...

tALK TO YOU LATER, GOT TO LEAVE. THANKS FOR TRYING. i'LL CHECK YOUR RESPONSES LATER...

cOOL!

Are you on a network logon on the windows machine?

Yes I'm using a Windows network logon and password.

I had this problem, I had to turn off the linux firewall. Once I did that it started working right away. Im not sure which ports need to be let through, shuting it off was easier.

Sorry, I'm new. Can you tell me where and how to disable the Linux firewall, please.

What distro are you using? I disabled the firewall on mine...that might be the difference.

im using FC4. Yeah after I did that it started working right away

Where do I turn the firewall off? Thanks
