Samba


Hello. I am setting up Samba. I can ping my server and clients via IP. I can ping all machines via machine name. When I use nmblookup however, I get this message when I try to get info about my samba server:
#nmblookup pogo "pogo"
querying pogo on 192.168.2.255
name_query failed to find the name pogo

What is wrong and how can I fix it????

Do you have smbd and nmbd running? Try to use smbclient from the machine you're installaing Samba on to connect.

How does your smb.conf file look like?

I cant get my computer "winclient" to connect to "pogo". All the computers are seen in the workgroup in Win XP. When I click properties of "pogo" while in XP, I get this error message..."The server pogo does not accept remote requests". If I double click on "pogo" I get this response..."\\Pogo is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. No service is opperating at the destination endpoint on the remote system."

You allow connections only from 2 hosts: 192.168.2.165 and 192.168.2. 12. Is it what you want?

Thiis is my current version of smb.conf constructed with WEBMIN.
Please point out any ridiculous errors. This is for my personal network at home.

I have been reading everything I could about samba. Most of which has been cryptic to me.

Yes the behaviour seems the same. Though I have noticed that if I reboot all the machines, pogo wont show up to network neighborhood untill I connect with smbclient as a user in console. I have also logged onto a 2000pro machine. Something else odd...I cannot ping the 2000pro machine from pogo. Im looking into that now... Again I thankyou for your time. I am trying to learn as I have chosen Unix as my focus in college, seemingly at this point unsuccessfully

I have found out why I cannot ping other machine(200pro) and have corrected it.

More info- I also have noticed that all the windows machines are slow to react when I click on workgroups. I have never noticed this before until I setup the linux box.

Hmm, do you have a firewall set? Try ipchains -L and iptables -L. What's the result?

No firewall running.

does this mean anything I found this in log.nmbd

libsmb/namequery.c:getlmhostsent(508)
getlmhostsent: Ill formed hosts line [192.168.2.4]

new-Fixed the lmhost file.

Any Idea why windows return the message..."The server pogo doesnt accept remote requests"

disable firewall

Go to Control Panel, run Lokkit disable the firewall. Do not connect directly your Linux box to the outside. Now for your local network you are wide open. Is not enough to stop the services (ipchains and iptables). As you know you set up from beginning your level of security, that means just few ports are open.
Now your Samba Server accept connections and Windows require a network password. Here you have to work out with Control Panel > Authentication Configuration. Enabling Kerberos Support seems not to work (you can download the new applic such as telnet, Ftp etc that use Kerberos v5).

Use MD5 to hash the passwords.

Make some users and groups. Add the users to the groups. Make the same users and groups in Windows.
If you use SMB authentication you need to edit "smbusers" file where you have Unix names = Samba names.
Create "smbpasswd" file.
This can be done with the following steps:

-- Create a separate password file for Samba based on your /etc/passwd file. This will create Samba users for every user that already exists on your system. To do this by executing the command

#cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

The script should be in the /usr/bin directory.
-- Make sure only root has permission to read and write to the Samba password file with the command

#chmod 600 smbpasswd

-- The script does not copy the passwords. To set the Samba password for each users thus enabling their Samba accounts, use the command

#smbpasswd 'username'

for each user.
-- Edit the smb.conf file to include the two lines

encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samaba/smbpasswd

--
Restart Samba with

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

Install Putty to telnet into your Linux for further tests on users and passwords and to make changes to your smb.conf and shares.
Telnet as normal user and then use #su root to have full rights.


And then
..."The server pogo does accept remote requests"
