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 - 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 :
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
hosts allow = 192.168.2. 127.0.0.1
security = user
#passdb backend = tdbsam
load printers = no
cups options = raw
debug level = 2
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 2

#============================ Share Definitions =============================


[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% /
/dev/hda1 ext3 99M 11M 84M 12% /boot
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.
