Hi,
First post. correct me on anything.
I have to use linux and windows interchangeably for my work. I am running Debian x64 on Virtual box and running win7 as host. I have been using samba for using tortoise svn from windows. I have backed up my VM before and restored smb.conf.
My problem is that samba stopped working without changing anything significant. I installed tunnelbear on the host. Network assigned me a new IP etc.
Most peculiar part as you will see below is: "map to guest = Never", when testparm obviously states it is: "map to guest = Bad User"
Here is my ifconfig: (eth0 is a bridged network and eth1 is NAT.)
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:1c:21:38
inet addr:192.168.1.94 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

I tried to purge and reinstall samba and it didnt help. Well, linux is not windows
All the info I looked into is below
my smb.conf is following:
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.

####### Authentication #######
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account

# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.

I am using the following command to check the availability of the smb server.
Code:
smbclient -L //192.168.1.94
running this prompts me to enter a password for root user and if I enter any password I get : "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"
if I just press enter without entering a password I get the following:
Code:
Anonymous login successful

I tried to switch to authentication and used several different confs which were said to be working but they also failed. I added users with smbpasswd.(there is a probability I made several mistakes).
