Samba Server not Working
 

hi,

i have created samba users and also shared directories for the specific user but when i connect from client machine it shows me the shared directories and when i try to open it, it asks me for authentication but after giving proper username and password i am not able to access that directory.

Well, at first check your permissions of that directory.

directory permission is 755

is your problem solve on giving permission

No its not solved yet.

tell me your fileserver architecture then only i can guide u..

well i knew it that only changing permission issue will not resolved...

server is Cent os 5.7 with the LAMP environment.
all the firewalls are disabled.
configured samba server and created users for that.

Want to share directory with specific users only.

I donot see any relevant important details provided by you in all the posts. You need to be more descriptive for the issue with all the details to save yours and ours time

Show your smb.conf
Check and show log messages for any related info

u did not mentioned how you had added your client with server and your client have windows operating system or else.

i have created simple users and added in samba using

smbpasswd -a username

other client machines are having ubuntu 12.04, windows 7 and mountain lion

hi dushyant
the samba share u are accessing with the samba user ,is that user have appropriate rights to that share?
have u enabled the user?
ie smbpasswd -e userame.

Ok, can you tell us what exacty did you do, what permissions did you set up for your share file, also send output of yours smb.conf

hi please read above post i have mentioned all the things

hi zafar,

i have created one directory and one user. permission assigned to the directory is 755 so i dont think there is any issue with the permission

can you tell me how you map windows user to samba server and also ubantu user to samba server. which folder you has mapped with server.beside permission their is one more reason that after getting your reply i can come to conclusion.so reply me .
