samba doesnt work..

[James Thogmartin]

i am running debian 2.2, and installed samba, and the samba server is running as a daemon..

tiny:~# ps aux | grep smbd
root 13577 0.0 0.8 2792 1272 ? S 14:29 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
root 13610 0.0 0.2 1108 392 pts/0 S 14:47 0:00 grep smbd
tiny:~#

and the netbios server is running as well:

tiny:~# ps aux | grep nmbd
root 13575 0.0 0.7 2224 1200 ? S 14:29 0:00 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
root 13580 0.0 0.6 2164 948 ? S 14:29 0:00 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
root 13612 0.0 0.2 1108 392 pts/0 S 14:48 0:00 grep nmbd
tiny:~#

and the nbtstat shows it as resolving the netbios:
C:\>nbtstat -a 192.168.0.3

Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.2] Scope Id: []

and when i look in the network places in win2k, it shows the box as being there...

however.. when i try to browse the server, it says it cant connect to it:

\\Tiny is not accessible
Access denied.

anyone know what the problem could be? i have attached the smb.conf.

thanks,
james

hi

I had to create an user to be able to attach to my samba (similar problems as you).

I haven't seen though any shares which you've made (unless you only want to share printers which are in printcap)

what i want it to do is to use the accounts that are already on the box... like my 'per0xide' account will go to /home/per0xide for the samba share when accessed... but its not even giving me a login, it just acts like it cant connect to the server, but recognizes that its there....

Hi,

What OS are you trying to connect from as the client? If NT 4.0/Win2k/XP, try it from the command-line and let us know what error you get.

c:> net use z: \\server\share /user:

-hal

[Hal Rottenberg · Accepted solution]

P.S. Note your smb.conf has the home directories set to read-only, you may wish to change that.

C:\>net use z: \\tiny\per0xide \user: per0xide
The syntax of this command is:


NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]



C:\>net use z: \\tiny\per0xide
The password or user name is invalid for \\tiny\per0xide.

Type the password for \\tiny\per0xide:
System error 1219 has occurred.

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.


C:\>net use z: \\tiny\per0xide per0xide per0xide
The syntax of this command is:


NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]



C:\>net use z: \\tiny\per0xide per0xide
System error 1219 has occurred.

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.


C:\>

[Hal Rottenberg]

"C:\>net use z: \\tiny\per0xide \user: per0xide"

You used the wrong slash for the user flag. Try "/user:per0xide".

If you still get error 1219, see this Microsoft page for an explanation.

http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q106211

But you may not get that error.

If you do, open Explorer, go to Tools / Disconnect Network Drive. You might find a session there that you need to disconnect as it is causing the credentials to conflict as stated by that error message.

Let us know what happens...

Hi

I meant to create user and then authenticate him with smbpasswd.

read these documents:

good luck
