i am using samba version 2.2.7a with rh9.0 and i can see the files and folders of my windows machine but i cant able to open any files from my linux machines in the network and i upgraded to 2.2.8a [samba] and the problem still persist.
security = DOMAIN
should maybe be
security = user
unless you knwo for sure it is domain (if it is I think you are missing a line, could be wrong though)
also, type "ps -aux | grep smbd" and "ps -aux | grep nmbd" you should see something for each. if not then you need to start samba (type smbd && nmbd) then try it. if still no go do the ps commands again, if they are there you have a config problem, if not you have a bigger problem, debug it by typing smbd -d 2 in one terminal, then nmbd -d 2 in another, then try to access and see what error they close with (if any)
openoffice.org cant open filename.doc because openoffice.org cant access files at smb locations. no other applications are available to view this file.
