Some samba help..

Hi!!

So.. I have a pc with slackware 12.2 and i setup there the samba . Here is the configuration :

Code:

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

[global]
workgroup = Network
netbios name = Slax
server string = Slacware Server
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
security = user
guest ok = yes
null passwords = yes
encrypt passwords = true
invalid users = root

And here are the shares:

Code:

[Mp3]
comment = Mp3
path = /media/disk/Mp3
writeable = no
read only = yes
force user = samba
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0766

Now my sister has a computer with 9.10 ubuntu. I go to Places --> Network and then double click on SLAX share. This error occurs :

Quote:

Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server

Ok i say.. lets try from terminal..

Quote:

$findsmb

*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
192.168.1.100 SLAX [ NETWORK ]
192.168.1.103 K4TE +[NETWORK] [Unix] [Samba 3.2.5]

then

Quote:

$smbclient -L SLAX

protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE

Any ideas on whats going on ?

Thanks in advance..!

I'm not real sharp on samba but I did something stupid back when Slack64 -C first came out that gave me a similar result.
I set up a new system to try out Slack64 -C and without thinking I gave it the same “Hostname” as the server. In my case all I had to do was just give the client a different hostname. I'd rather not mention how long it took me to figger it out tho. .. :-)

What happens with -
mount -o guest -t cifs //Slax/Mp3 /media/Mp3

or use the IP instead of host name.

force user = samba

The server Slax does have a user "samba" right

Do you have any firewalls running? Samba requires ports 137,138,139 and 445. (I do not remember the exact protocols (tcp/udp) on each port).

I don't have any software firewall installed..Only the router..

Well...

Did you ever run "testparm" to test your Samba server's configuration for errors?

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255

That is an invalid netmask there. It will basically block traffic for all hosts except for localhost.
This is better:

Code:

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Ok i add this :

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

And all gone right..
