Linux Samba Issue


Im trying to setup Samba on my Linux Server but Im unable to connect to one share. Out of all 3 shares i cannot connect to the one named filestor.
Heres my smb.conf :

Code:
[root@Fileserver opt]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters

[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
netbios name = Fileserver
server string = Samba Server %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50

[filestor]
path = /filestor
valid users = smb
read only = No

[var]
path = /var/tmp
valid users = smb
read only = No

[tmp]
path = /tmp
valid users = smb
read only = No
It s worth mentioning that all the shares but the one I am having issues with is on the boot disk. The filestor is on its own disk. Not sure if this could cause a problem.

Thanks,

The path you have defined is a directory filestor on the root partition. If this is not the case, and from the above statement it is not, you need to fix the path =. Do you have the filestor directory mounted in fstab? I expect you do, other wise you could not access the files on the local system. So, the path = should look something like this:

path = /mountdirectory/filestor

Is the only user connecting the user smb?

In the end I managed to get it working.
The only things I changed was disabling SElinux and adding my hostname to the /etc/hosts file.
The main thing is that it is working.

Thanks for the response though..
