Hi all!

I'm pretty new to the Linux community, and don't really have a lot of background on it.... So please bear with me...

OK, here's the problem.... I've installed Samba. I had to install LDAP and Kerberos5 before I could configure Samba. I just installed these programs (with the 'make' and 'make install' and stuff) and didn't configure anything special afterwards.... I dunno if I had to do anything else with them...

Then the Samba install went ok. I edited the smb.conf thingy into this:

************************
#!/bin/sh
#ident "@(#)samba.server 1.0 96/06/19 TK" /* SVr4.0 1.1.13.1*/
#
# Please send info on modifications to knuutila@cs.utu.fi
#
# This file should have uid root, gid sys and chmod 744
#
if [ ! -d /usr/bin ]
then # /usr not mounted
exit
fi

killproc() { # kill the named process(es)
pid=`/bin/ps -e |
/bin/grep -w $1 |
/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
[ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}

# Start/stop processes required for samba server

case "$1" in

'start')
#
# Edit these lines to suit your installation (paths, workgroup, host)
#
/USR/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D -s/USR/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
/USR/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D -l/USR/local/samba/log -s/USR/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
;;
'stop')
killproc nmbd
killproc smbd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/samba { start | stop }"
;;
esac
******************

When I start the nmbd and smbd and I do 'ps -ef' I do see them running. So I guess the paths I edited are ok....

Then I made a share with this smb.conf file:

*****************************
[global]

workgroup = WEBDEV
netbios name = collin
security = share

[share1]
comment = "gedeelde map"
path = /oefmap
guest ok = yes
*********************************

I also chmod'ed the /oefmap (the folder for sharing) into 777...

Now, when I try to get acces in windows I get this error:
"Server not configured for transactions"

Has this something to do with the Kerberos or LDAP thing I had to install? Or has it something to do with Mandrake security (which is just set to standard)? Or is it something else I have no idea about?

Any help is appreciated....

Thank you!

Does no-one have any answers or ideas? Or is this the wrong forum to ask?

Weekends are always quiet, bump it up again on late monday.
Sorry I dont have a better answer for you.

*being a good newbie and doing as is told*

Bump!

Don't forget to make samba user accounts for your users

smbpasswd -a username
password
password <repeated>
<added user username>

also check your samba configuration with 'testparm'

then check what shares you are putting out on the workgroup with:

smbclient -L localhost

Let us know how it turns out! good luck.

OK, thanks...

I'll try it after the weekend when I have access to that computer again....
