what have you gotten to work? read the man smb. might help some. check the /etc/samba/smb.conf file closely.

If you posted your config file it may help a bit.

blither · 10-15-2003, 05:53 PM

here is what is in my config file. i got all of this by reading other things, and realyl dont understand it... please help. thanks

Code:

[global]
	workgroup = MSHOME-M
	netbios name = LINUX-SERVER
	server string = the linux server
	security = DOMAIN
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	root directory = /home/smb
	admin log = Yes
	log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
	max log size = 50000
	time server = Yes
	add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/nu.. -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
	logon script = logon.bat
	logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m
	logon drive = H:
	logon home = \\%L\%u\.win_profile\%m
	domain logons = Yes
	os level = 68
	preferred master = True
	domain master = True
	wins support = Yes
	guest account = guest
	admin users = alex

[profiles]
	path = /ovs/samba-ntprof
	username = %U
	read only = No
	create mask = 0600
	directory mask = 0700
	browseable = No

[homes]
	path = /home/%U
	username = %U
	read only = No
	browseable = No

OK. You seem to have enabled domain logins amongst other options.

Try this config:

Code:

workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server
netbios name = linuxbox
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = yes
os level = 65
preferred master = yes

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   valid users = %S
   create mode = 0664
   directory mode = 0775

Have you created both unix and samba user accounts?

blither · 10-16-2003, 02:31 PM

no i have not, this is for windows and linux users to loginto.... just to let you know.

david_ross · 10-16-2003, 03:36 PM

With samba you need to have both unix and samba logins - they can be the same or different. Making them the same is easier to manage though.

Once you have added unix users in your usual way - use the smbadduser command to add samba users with the smae username - eg:
smbadduser blither:blither

what is the domain, for when im setting it up on my windows and linux computers? or how do i set it.

blither · 10-17-2003, 02:45 PM

i get a an error when i try login in... i use MYGROUP as the domain, is that correct? it says it doesnt exist...what am i do to?

david_ross · 10-18-2003, 06:53 AM

If you just want to share files then try the config I posted above and don't use domains.

blither · 10-18-2003, 05:15 PM

well i want to use domains, tahts the problem... when i try loging into it, it says "access is denied" its on an xp pro computer. very frustrating. i have the root account setup on the samba server thing. but i stil have a problem. and i have done the stuff to the xp box taht is nessary.

david_ross · 10-19-2003, 07:48 AM

Ok - then try this config:

Code:

workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server
netbios name = linuxbox
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
os level = 65
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes


[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   valid users = %S
   create mode = 0664
   directory mode = 0775

Have you added machine accounts to the linux machine and the samba password file.

blither · 10-19-2003, 09:45 AM

yes i have added both of the accounts. ill check to see if it works when i get back.

david_ross · 10-19-2003, 09:48 AM

By both, I assume you mean machine accounts and user accounts to both the unix password files and smbpassword files - yes?

blither · 10-19-2003, 12:20 PM

yes i have already setup my samba users and unix passwords, that was the first thing i check. i have been searching the forums, and google for the answer to my problem non stop for the past 3 days. with no luck i hope this, helps.
