Configure Samba file
I am using Suse 9.1 personal, and dowloaded and installed Samba, (which i think worked). I want to network it with windows through a router, and also print.
My current samba.conf is # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE # Date: 2004-09-16 [global] workgroup = SIRLHOME netbias name = Linux.default server string = James' Linux printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = all users username map = /etc/samba/smbusers map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit acls = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit acls = Yes [pdf] comment = PDF creator path = /var/tmp printable = Yes print command = /usr/bin/smbprngenpdf -J '%J' -c %c -s %s -u '%u' -z %z create mask = 0600 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 I changed the [QUOTE]# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE # Date: 2004-09-16 [global] workgroup = SIRLHOME netbias name = Linux.default server string = James' Linux printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = all users username map = /etc/samba/smbusers map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit acls = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit acls = Yes [pdf] comment = PDF creator path = /var/tmp printable = Yes print command = /usr/bin/smbprngenpdf -J '%J' -c %c -s %s -u '%u' -z %z create mask = 0600 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 I changed the workgroup name to my current workgroup, and added my netbias name and server string. I am a :newbie: and any help to get anything to work, would be appreciated. James |
i also get told that the smb protocol is not supported

I don't do SUSE, but the first that that jumps out at me is that you are editing the wrong file. You should be working with "/etc/samba/smb.conf".
Second, how do you know the smb service is running? Third, I'm more familiar with Redhat/Fedora versions of the smb.conf file, but even with SUSE I should think there should be a "server = user" (or = something) line to indicate the type of security Samba will use. Just some thoughts about where to start. |
