Dear All

Can anyone help? I am trying to backup a microsoft WHS to my Fedora Core 13 box. I am setting Samba up via webmin.

I can see the shares on the MS box. I am logging in from the MS box from Administrator account and have created an 'Adimistrator' account with same password on the samba box. (samba user Administrator)

Linux server is 192.168.192.6
WHS 192.168.192.5

If I try and connect to the apps share I get this error

[2011/03/16 14:52:33.292515, 0] smbd/service.c:988(make_connection_snum)
canonicalize_connect_path failed for service apps, path /media/data/apps

Any help appreciated. ( testparm, ls-al and config outputs below )

ls -al Output /media

Try this; in particular section 4 Adding users. Make sure the samba password is set, this is different than the regular linux user account password.

Thanks

I am pretty new to Linux so some of the debian commands don't work. Anyone any ideas from a Fedoa perspective

Thanks
