Fedora Installation :: Configuration Of Swat And Samba ?
Jan 8, 2010
The configuration of swat and samba. I have tried the vi edit approach but there is no save option so after I edit it and close it, it just says the terminal is in the middle of a process and closing will kill it or something to that effect. Of course then it doesn't save the changes. That reminds me that I do su to root before I do this. I have also tried the pam edit in order to allow myself to log on to root from the gui but that doesn't work either. Am I missing something? I can't imagine how you are supposed to configure anything if it won't let you even in root. Would the fact that my user and root passwords are the same effect this in anyway? I'm desperate as this is for a school project and obviously I'm new to linux.
I am trying to use SWAT to better configure Samba.conf I have swat installed and working but it is missing the GLOBAL button which is its main configuration tool?
I am trying to get Fedora F11 to see my network PC's and have searched high and low trying to find the problem. I have a local network with several WinXP, VISTA, MAC, and MYBOOKWORLD, devices as well as 2 Fedora machines. Everything sees everything and is able to transfer files just fine except the two Fedora machines.
They see nothing on the network. All the other machines do see the Fedora machines, and are able to transfer files to them. Both have the /var/ directory shared. This network worked just fine back when running Fedora FC5 and FC7. After upgrading to FC9 I was unable to see the network from the Fedora machine, but did not have a need to do that so ignored the problem. After installing FC11 on another machine, I now have a need for the two machines to see the network and transfer files. The error I get is nearly identical on both of the Fedora machines.

COWBOY is the workgroup all of the computers are in. On the FC9 machine I do not get the error, the screen just goes blank when I click on "COWBOY" The other difference is that on the FC11 machine it does see itself and has an icon next to the "Windows Network" icon. I can click on it and mount the shares. They do not show up in the windows network.
i wanted to make a fresh installation of samba so i uninstalled and then reinstalled samba and the configuration files remained with the old configuration so i deleted the /etc/samba/ folder and now after reinstalling samba i don't have the configuration files i thought the installation process will create them ,but it did not do that
Start>Run>\192.168.0.1storage gives me "The specified network password is not correct." It lists my domain as "ANTEC" which is the name of my computer, though I've changed the workgroup to WELLS. I've run:
I am *finally* getting around to rebuilding my file-sharing computer. I'll be sharing files with both Linux and Windoze machines. It's a home network, so there's nothing fancy needed. I know I have to tweak my smb.conf file until I'm satisfied with the features and security. I'm using SWAT and I'm starting with a bare-bones conf file. It's not secure but I can see the server and selected files/directories from my other Linux box.
My really dumb question is, do I have to reboot both the server and the client machines every time I change the SAMBA configuration? I thought I just had to stop and restart the SAMBA service in the SWAT software - but then the server disappears from my client. It looks like I need to reboot both machines for the client to see the server.
I just installed swat, but I'm unable to connect. I read the "man swat" file and it says that I have to modify the /etc/inet.d/swat file, which in my install does not exist; however, I found the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file, and I edited setting disable=no, and also setting only_host=to my ip address. After that I restarted the server "service xinetd restart" because "service inetd restart" doesn't work, so I checked if the port was listening with netstat -l | grep 901. Again no service is listening on that port..
I've got SAMBA and SWAP installed. I tried to localhost:901 and telnet localhost 901 And both connections tries were refused. I opened the port and even shut down iptables. What else do I need to do to use SWAT?
I downloaded Swat 4 (legally) as well as wine, using all defaults I hoped it would work. (yeah right) After installing using wine, which worked great, I get an error when I try to play the game. Wine is trying to load the game from the Cd drive yet it's installed.
EDIT: forgot to mention that wine does recognize that I have installed the program to its virtual c drive.
I am trying to give yum install samba command to install samba software in my FEDORA9 machine but I am getting errors as I am not able to connect to any of the UPDATE servers as they show links are not available.
I downloaded and installed the newest version of Fedora, version 15, in my refurbished computer. It's the CD version; so much of the stuff are missing, including an office suite. I didn't have a DVD-ROM drive on the system, thus I installed the CD version. On the CD version, I was displeased that I can't install Samba offline; I had to download it. Don't ask me why I don't want to download it, it's just my preference to be able to have a basic computer function like Samba on an official distribution, like a calculator, an office suite (again, was left out), and a file manager.
Fedora's website describes the DVD edition of the operating system as having more software than the CD version. Now, for those who have used the new Fedora and also used Samba, does it come installed, or do you have to go online to download it? I understand if you don't want MP3s or DVD decryption software, but how does LAN file-sharing count as something that's illegal?
I wish to prevent the samba messages (mainly nmbd and winbindd) from appearing in the system log (/var/log/messages). I want to allow samba logging to the standard samba logfiles, but prevent the syslog getting clogged up by samba. I added syslog = 0 to smb.conf and reloaded the config but the messages were still appearing. I also tried the following (and restarted the syslog via /sbin/service syslog restart) # Suppress messages from samba.
For interests sake the messages I'm getting are below (I'm not concerned about the messages themselves, I can chase them up at my leisure via the samba logs) Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet xx.yy.z.zz for name DOMAIN<1d>. Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: This response was from IP xx.yy.z.zz, reporting an IP address of xx.yy.z.zz.
I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.
What is the command to install CUPS and Samba, like yum install. I don't want to be installing wrong things and then end up with dependency problems, and after that what do i need to configure to have CUPS print from the localhost, and so that other computers from the networks also be able to print from the server, that is i'm workin on a server. As for samba i just need the installation command, then i want to figure the rest out.
I had set up as a NT4 style PDC. There is no longer any PDC/BDC dynamic with Samba4 and MS AD support.
I purged samba packages and winbind et al and provisioned the domain correctly, and everything works well now.
What follows is the original post.
========================================================================================== After much struggling with DNS settings, I finally got a basic samba AD controller up and running, and then that's about as far as I got.
As soon as I tried to use the RSAT I found that I could not connect RSAT to the AD server while logged in as root.
The error I get is:
Naming information cannot be located because: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Contact your system adminsiotrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.

Though others could easily access my shares in a passwordless way, I am being aksed for password when I try to access their shares. They are running windows machines. I could easily access their shres without password from my windows setup.
I'm running sid, reasonably updated. I decided to add a samba share. I installed samba (2:3.4.8~dfsg-2), samba-tools, smbclient, smbfs, & samba-client. I did a "/etc/init.d/samba start" and even rebooted. But when I try to add a samba password for my regular user I can't.
# smbpasswd -a praxis bash: smbpasswd: command not found I did a "locate smbpasswd" but I'm only seeing:
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.Need to get 49.2MB/55.5MB of archives. After unpacking 149MB will be used.Do you want to continue?
I'm using Xfce 4.8, which now provides built-in samba browing in thunar. This works like a charm. I can browse a samba share (external HD connecter to router via USB). Yet it appears to me now that the support is limited to thunar. I mean double clicking on a file allows me to open/edit that file if and only if the software itself has samba support. In practice, double-clicking on a movie opens it with vlc thanks to vlc's own smb support. Even then, I can't find a way to add the subtitle file. I reckon that to use the share transparently, I would need to mount it the "mount" way. Either on a mount point like /mnt/hard_drive or something like .gvfs/hard_drive.
Is my understanding correct ? Is that my only option? Considering the disk won't be switched on at startup, fstab is not the solution. Would gigolo be the right choice? I spent some time trying gigolo a few days ago, following an easy tuto found on the web and it didn't work as expected. If needed I could give it another try.
I am trying to configure samba server on my linux RHEL 5 box to windows 2000 NT boxes but getting the following error
Global parameter guest account found in service section! [2010/07/16 16:01:13, 0] lib/util_sock.c826) bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0. Error = Address already in use
The problem I am facing is, with the Samba server configuration.I have configured Samba server with a folder shared between server and client machines. I have tried downloading data from the shared folder on the server to the client machine which is successfully downloaded, however I am not able to upload any data to the shared folder in the samba server.
Have recently setup Samba on a fresh install of Fedora 14 so that I can use it as a workstation in a Windows 2003 (win2k3) domain.
The install of Samba seems to have worked as I can connect to the Domain using ADS and kerberos. selinux and firewall have been disabled until I have it working 100%
The problem lies when i try to login to Gnome or TTY. It begins to create the home directory for the domain user logging in but after a certain process Fedora logs the user out of the system.
Have looked through several log files (/var/log/messages, log.winbindd, log.winbindd-dc-connect) but am unable to debug it any further.
Have posted the config files below which shows the Fedora machine is successfully connected to the domain as it lists its groups, users and validates logon credentials - it just won't logon!
Where i can go about debugging. Also if you need additional configs.
I've after latest jessie update a problem with service samba restart. If I use "service samba restart", there is a timeout (after long time) and error.
Output of "systemctl status samba.service":
Code: Select all● samba.service - LSB: ensure Samba daemons are started (nmbd and smbd) Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/samba) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Mo 2014-10-20 02:16:57 CEST; 7s ago Process: 6205 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/samba start (code=killed, signal=TERM)

Whats going wrong. "service samba restart" should bring no error message if the service is not running previously.
I currently have a Samba share on a Debian 7 system. This share was only ever used by Windows systems on the network.
I just finished setting up a Debian 8 system with Xfce, and now I would like to connect to the share. I already installed gvfs-backends and gvfs-bin. When I go to Thunar file manager, and click browse network, I'm presented with a "Windows Network" shortcut. When clicked it says: Failed to open "Windows Network". Failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory.
