Samba has me stumped (debian lenny)

walterbyrd · 04-20-2010, 01:46 PM

I have samba installed on debian lenny, I have set user accounts. I am not running any firewalls. I can access the webserver on the same system where I am trying to access samba. Directory permissions are wide open. I am using workgroups, no domains. I can see the server in "My Network Places" -> "View workgroup computers" on XP Home.

However, when I click on the samba server name "Ash" I get the error message:

Code:

"\\Ash is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource . . ."

Any help would be appreciated. Here is my smb.conf file:

Code:

#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
#  - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
#    differs from the default Samba behaviour
#  - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
#    behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
#    enough to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic 
# errors. 
# A well-established practice is to name the original file
# "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
# testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
# This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
# which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
# However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
# "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
# where using a master file is not a good idea.

That's the same version of samba? Did you "apt-get install samba" to try to upgrade it?

walterbyrd · 04-22-2010, 12:39 PM

When I tried to upgrade samba on lenny, I got a lot of warnings, so I decided to upgrade to squeeze.

That took me from samba 3.2.5 to samba 3.4.7 - and it seems to be working.

AlucardZero · 04-22-2010, 01:35 PM

That's a little drastic, but it's good that it works..
