SAMBA on REDHAT 7
 

http://www.geocities.com/artecz/localhost.jpg

Please click the link above to see my problem..

This is what im getting when I try to enter the localhost in the network neighborhood of windows98.

If i enter the password. The error is invalid passwrd.


What do i do? Any help?

your link is dead, if you could describe the problem a little.

Your problem with windows 98 is common due to the fact that it will only log you in using the current user instead of prompting for a username, it prompt for a password only.

You need to make sure you are actually logged into windows under a username that is valid on the samba server and has access permission to the shares.

did you add the users with smbadduser?

there are log files in /var/log/samba and your smb.conf file may not be setup right.



try smbclient -L host

see if you are listing shares

username are all the same and passwrd for samba and redhat and windows 'test = username' 'testing = password'.

when i use this command #smbclient -L localhost I can see all my shares 'public' and 'temp'

when i try to go into \\localhost\public it prompts me to enter a password i enter the password. Error messg 'invalid password'

please try i again to copy and paste the address link http://www.geocities.com/artecz/localhost.jpg

one thing that you might need to consider. On windows you have a guest account that is broadcasting shares, so you will see them even if you cannot access them. However on samba, if you do not have access and you do not allow the guest account you will not be able the list shares.
the share is IPC$
windows sometimes has autoshare enabled so you have C$ D$ etc..
when you share a folder on the default autoshare you will see it even if you have no access.


On linux this would be like having a guest share but setting file permissions to block users. The way samba works is much better if you have your users setup.

I do have the user 'test' added in Samba.

here is my smbconf

[global]
workgroup = Frinux
server string = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

[public]
path = /Share
guest only = yes
writeable = yes
read only = yes

[temp]
path = /test
guest only = yes
writeable = no
read only = yes

guest only = yes

are you sure that's what you want?


this would mean that a user connot access it, only the guest user which may be nobody by default

writable and read only are opposites just use

writable = no
or
writable = yes

here's one that works

try to ignore the force group apache, maybe make it something else or leave it out.

Just something I'm doing

If you can go back to the default config file and enable [homes] and get that working first.
