Hi,
Of course first check the user/passwd, second run cifslist to verify the share.
What's is the error message exactly...

Hi,

I checked /etc/passwd and found users already created and no any probelm found.

Regarding cifslist command, when i run i got the following error "The CIFS Client is not running".

1) vi /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf ( Create the links and the paths)
#Edi secure public share

[testuser]
comment = General purpose
path = /home/testuser
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
valid users = gentran

2) useradd gentran (create user gentran at OS level )

3) /opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a gentran ( setup password for gentan, password is lucas)

4) /opt/samba/bin/testparm ( to test if there are any errors in the config file)

5) /sbin/init.d/samba stop (stop samba service)

6) /sbin/init.d/samba start (start samba service)

now from your PC, you can map your network drive to the server and search, you will find the folders

Dear Basheer,

Thanks, when i reach to /sbin/init.d/samba stop (stop samba service). I can't i got "smbd & nmbd not shutting down gracefully, attempting to force it...
Unable to shut down smbd & nmbd!"

Dear john

The correct way to terminate nmbd and smbd is to send it a SIGTERM (-15) signal and wait for it to die on its own.


thanks and regards
