please advise drhappy (-:

First thing, you could remove
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow will allow the ips specified and block others by default

try adding
browseable = yes
to your share and check.

i did and stil nothibg logs:

please help cant create or copy

Last thing I could think of.
create a share named /test123
make it world writeable and then try.
i.e change /mnt/storage to /test123
or make /mnt chmod 777 and give it a try

and remove writable = yes, because read only = no and writeable = yes mean the same thing.

What is the mount command you are using ?
To mount you need to be root, right ? On the mount command you need to specify who is the linux user that can hve access to the share. On the command below the linux user "miguel" has uid/gid=500:
and as "miguel"...

i didnt understand in order to make samba work with win-xp i thgoht i need only to install samba to edit the smb.conf with a share and to create a user in the etc/passwd and to create password to samba with the smbpasswd - auser name
am i right >?? please advise i need also to mount the share folder??

as so here is my files on my samba please take a look and tell me where i gone worng

root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest


and do i need to mount the /mnt/storage ?????

if so please tell me how due all the folwing that i send

10xxx alot


tzahi

I am sorry, I understand wrong. Rreading your post again, looks like you can't create files on winXP side, right ?

I suppose you can, at least, to mount the share "FileServer" on windows XP side and see the files and folders on it, right ?

try to add the explicit permissions to the user "samba" to FileServer share definition:
and add explict permissions to the user "samba" to folder /mnt/storage. You can do that either by changing of the owner of the folder /mnt/storage (chown samba /mnt/storage) or by changing the access mode of the folder for anyone (chmod o+rwx /mnt/storage)

restart the samba server and try to create files/folders on the share on a winXP host.

hi im sorry if i drove you carsy but for some reason i cant log in to the samba shre from wi-xp i stuck in the user+password screen (xp)

the log
[2008/07/03 17:31:44, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(325)
startsmbfilepwent_internal: failed to set 0600 permissions on password file /etc/smbpasswd. Error was Permission denied

sound familiar ?

10xx alot so far for your help

The error message in the log says something about wrong permissions of /etc/smbpasswd.
What is the current permissions of this file ? (ls -l /etc/smbpasswd)

hi i reinstall the server and now i success to login with samba user but i cant create or copy to the samba share please take a look

what is the collison in the log ??????


any other option ? it seems like the folder as been created but i cant see it becuse in the log is shown folder2

what i need to do help

From a linux machine, (could be from the samba server) try, as regular user:

i think i know what is the problem but no what is the solution :
[root@Elena /]# smbstatus

its seems like the user log in but only to read only R/W how to change this although in the smb.conf its mark to :


[FileServer]
comment = FileServer
path = /mnt/FileServer
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
browseable = yes

Elena, please, give explicit access to FileServer share as I told you, restart the smbd service and give me the results of the smbclient commands in my last post.

With the default parameters in FileServer share is not possible to test what is wrong.

marozsas first of all 10xx alot for your help my name is tzahi my server name is elena im new with linux

so please ....

[root@Elena /]# smbclient //192.168.2.20/FileSever samba-temp-temp -W WORKGROUP -u samba
Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer.
Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
tree connect failed: Read error: Connection reset by peer

did you saw my earley threat about the smbstatus?

Hi Tzahi !

(and sorry for my mistake about your name :o - I thought your nick name was a short for Elena Negro - sorry again)

Yes, I saw your post about the smbstatus. The problem is in the same post you put the section about the share without any explict write permission, so it means nothing. This is why I asked you to put a explicit write permission on the share.

I'm confused... - again :)
In your last post, in your command smbclient, the string "samba-temp-temp" is the password assigned to the user "samba" with the command "smbpasswd samba" ? It must be !
I mean, if the password assigned to the user "samba" is "xxx", then the command must be:
you got it ?

sorry by the delay to answer. It is a holiday here where I live.

PS: Pay attention ! You wrote "FileSever" in smbclient command above. It is missing a "r" in the word "server"....I hope it is just a typo.

hi first of all 10xxx again and happy holiday where r u from ???

my samba project is going ok i have 1 problem i have 2 shares in my smb.conf and only one is working

smb.conf :

[FileServer]

comment = FileServer
writable = yes
public = yes
path =/mnt/server/

[tzahia]

comment = tzahia
writable = yes
public = yes
path =/Files

the fileserver is working good /mnt/server

the second dosent work /files

i got this error message whan im try to connect :

[2008/07/14 10:00:30, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1003)
'/Files' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [tzahia] Error was Permission denied


the /files is a folder that mount to a secondary hd of 140gb :

[root@Elena ~]# df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Vol0-LogVol00
ext3 35G 25G 8.7G 74% /

tmpfs tmpfs 379M 0 379M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1 ext3 147G 188M 140G 1% /Files

and is chmod is 777 :
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Jul 12 18:11 Files


and if im try to mount cifs its the same error :

[root@Elena ~]# mount -t cifs //localhost/Files /tmp/ -o username=tzahia,password=tzahia
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)


any idea ???

10xx again

i think that the problem is with the mount :

/dev/hdb1 on /Files type ext3 (rw)

because if i change the smb.conf to a new folder in /mnt/newfolder its worknig

but if i leave it to /Files its dosent working ???

to remaind you that the share /Files is allocate to /dev/hdb1 /Files do i need to do a special mount ???

i did ---> mount /dev/hdb1 /Files

and i gave a 777 full perrmison to /FIles i created the folder using : mkdir -m 777 /Files
any one????

Hi Tzahi,

The owner/modes of a mount point are hidden when the device is mounted. You need to change owner/modes AFTER mouting the device.
My advice is not to change the owner/modes of the root of your share, this could have security implications;
Instead, create an another mount point (let say, /data), mount /dev/hdb1 on /data (mount /dev/hdb1 /data), and create the share Files on /data (mkdir /data/Files).
Change the owner/modes of /data/Files (not of /data) and smb.conf according. Restart smbd.

do you meen

mkdir /data

mount /dev/hdb1 /data

mkdir -m 777 /data/share

and to change it in the smb.conf???

or than chwon ?

You already set the modes when you create the directory. After that you can use "chmod" to change the modes of a file/folder.

In the smb.conf, just adjust the path to the neew /data/share you created:

hi my man after two different try's its finely work 10xxxx

but it seems that i have another problem in the middle of copy progress to the share i got smbd kernel panic

how can i debug it to see what seems to be the problem 10xxx again

good morning Tzahi !

Looks like you are running samba 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 which is outdated. The current version is 3.2.0.
Try to update your system, both samba anda kernel.

cheers,

how do i do it yum install or update please advise

yum update???

What is the name of your regular user? Is it samba or sambauser? That sounds more like a system user or group. I'm trying to understand the name collision error message from your earlier post.

The directory you want to globally share probably should have root:root ownership with permissions created with "chmod a=rwxt /data/share".

If the user is a user on both XP and Linux, then use "smbpasswd" to add the username and password for the samba user. Users who aren't Linux users and in the smbpasswd username/password file should be mapped to the windows Guest user. For that you want "map to guest = Bad User" in the global options. This will use the equivalent linux user "nobody" to access the directory on Linux. "nobody" is Linux's equivalent of windows "guest" user.
