My Ubuntu 9.10 works well with the network through samba, but only if I first run -
sudo service samba restart
Then all is fine. I don't understand this. How can I avoid having to do this? Or alternatively where can I best put this command so that it will be run on boot-up.
I have a problem with samba machine disappearing after I restart smb or the server where samba is running. Lets say I name my samba server ABC and set it up via system-config-samba utils. I follow basic steps and fill out everything according to most guides that are available for fedora. After that everything works great, I can connect to samba server ABC form any machine through smb://ABC (mac) or \ABC (win), however as soon as I restart smb services or my server (subsequently restarting the smb service ...) I no longer can connect to it via samba server name ABC, I can only do smb://SambaServerIP or \SambaServerIP (have to put numerical internal ip to connect)
My smb.conf:
# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

running Ubuntu 10.10, generally with no probs. After the upgrade to 10.10, and several updates, I still have a problem. Namely when ever I re-boot, which now more often than I'd like, due to a machine failure. It starts, but accross the network can't "see" tux, pop to root term, and
Quote:
root@tux:~# stop smbd
smbd stop/waiting
root@tux:~# start smbd
smbd start/running, process 3682
and that fixes it. Whats wrong with the startup script?
I recently built a computer for a friend that is only going to be used to run a network share.
The problem I am running into is that whenever the computer restarts the share, while visible, cannot be accessed by the two Windows 7 laptops in the house.
If I run 'sudo umount /media/storage' followed by 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/storage' the once visible but inaccessible share is now accessible.
I do not understand why this would be. I have added the line 'usershare owner only = false' to my smb.conf file.
explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
I recently installed Server 10.10 64-bit. After installation, I set up my config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf), and tried to restart Samba:
Code:
/etc/init.d/samba restart
There was nothing to restart though - the file /etc/init.d/samba wasn't there!
Purged the package and re-installed. Tried reformatting and adding Samba as a pre-installed package. Trying to find the server guide for 10.10, but no dice. Did something change for Samba in 10.10?
xubuntu and tried to set up my old pc, the problem is that when i modify my samba file and want to restart using /etc/init.d/samba restart the file wasnt there

The internet works after that but when I reboot, that Primary DNS server gets deleted. I have to type it all the time and then click on save and then start using the internet again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with Ubuntu 10.04. I was setting up network sharing with Samba. Set up went fine, then I decided to change the hostname.
Following instructions I found on the web, I edited etc/samba/samba.conf to reflect my desired hostname.
Now I have to use superuser to run synaptic or update center. I don't know what else I have "broken".
I would like to change my hostname, if I did it incorrectly for 10.04 please enlighten me.
I am having trouble running commands by using sudo. I configured visudo file with localuser ALL=(ALL) ALL but I can't run any command, it tells me command not found.

Whats going wrong. "service samba restart" should bring no error message if the service is not running previously.
Just like the title states, as soon as my server comes up, I see the samba share that I made and can browse it just fine.
I don't see the printer share nor can I print to the shared printer until I execute service smbd restart from an ssh login. Then I see the printer and then I can network print.
Before restarting smbd, I do check to see if it's already running and it is (two instances are running in fact). When I restart smbd, there are still two smbd services running but they have higher PID numbers (and I can then print).
I'm running 10.04. how to make it all start up happily the first time without any intervention from me?
I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,

sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.
I have in my home 3 pc's 2 of them ubuntu, 1 windows/ubuntu. I have a NAS (mybook WD) that I'm going to hack to install a linux OS on it, to take advantage of some benefits. I'll need access from windows networks. I've read there are many benefits of NFS over Samba, with the inconvinient that it cannot be access by windows. Is it a good idea to have both NFS and samba on the file server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu 9.10 Samba file server. I have set up Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix in a home network which also has Windows XP home and Vista computers already present in the network. The XP and Vista machines have no problem accessing the file shares.
The server is running mhddfs with FlexRaid. The security is set to share level access. I have a hosts allow line in the smb.conf file to permit access to certain IP addresses and have added the 10.04 netbook remix IP address to this hosts allow line.
I cannot access shares from the 10.04netbook remix machine if the hosts allow line is active, but have no problem from the windows machines. If i comment out the hosts allow line, all machines can access the share, including the netbook remix machine. I am fairly new to Linux and would appreciate any help in solving this problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having slight issue with setting up file sharing. I have a windows 7 pc and hp proliant microserver running. I have a raid array which I am using as a share for storing music, pictures etc. When I reboot the debian server I can't connect to the server from the windows 7 PC (I have mapped a network drive) until I go on to the server and restart samba with /etc/init.d/samba restart - then everything works fine. I can ping the server with both ip and hostname but the network drive does not connect - this is straight after a reboot. Is the /etc/init.d/samba restart doing something differently to when the server boots? I have read several posts relating to printer sharing issues which point to samba not starting before cups so I am wondering if samba is starting before some of the relevant networking services.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTrue or False: If you have a user on your Linux/Samba machine with a password, example:
User = Bob
Password = Password0
And Bob is on an XP computer, where his username is also Bob and his password is also Password0, is it normal for Bob to go to:
\SambaServer, double click on Bob's share (valid users = Bob only) and Bob get RIGHT in without being prompted?
On my prior setup, the user HAD to log in. If they wanted auto login next time with their credentials, they had to check "remember password." But now it's as if Samba knows who they are. It's very strange. What's the normal behavior? Must EVERYBODY authenticate with passwords, or if the Windows credentials are the same as Samba does it just somehow auto-detect it and allow them through?
so i found an older computer i want to play with as a file server. ubuntu server edition, installed gnome GUI (to make things easier for now, i plan on removing it later) and used [URL].. to configure my 1.5tb harddrive so my windows machines can access it. i had everything working but than a fatal crash made me start from scratch (os and all) now i am unable to access the samba share from a machine running windows 7, but i can access it from a machine running windows XP using the same login and password i set up for windows 7.this makes me believe it's a problem with windows 7 and not samba.

I am trying to use fusesmb and have been following these instructions:
[URL]
as well as these:
[URL]
and these
[URL]
the top ones say to use Applications - System - shared folders to setup smb client. Xubuntu maverick doesn't seem to have that menu point. So I copied the smb.conf from my desktop machine. libsmbclient is installed.
fuse as such seems to run since teh folder that i designated as mount point (~/Network) changes owner to root when i run fusesmb Network. But apart from that nothing happens.
I'm trying to set up an old computer that was donated to my by an aunt to hold my external hard drives and use it as a file server so i can use them from anywhere within my house. However I can not seem to get the samba server to broadcast/be seen by my ubuntu installation, nor my windows installation.
I've read the manual, to an extent, but I feel as if I am missing something. All I want is to have it to where I can just type in \server and bring up my files to access without having to worry about passwords.
Here is the config file:
Code:

workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = GrenadingBadger
security = share

I have a Samba server running on a box where I login to admin as user:
FRED
The Samba users are
SUE
JOE - Read only for specified paths (media playback access only user)
SUE can read/write to any directory under the share: Media
So all that is working fine. As long as I do file operations remotely as SUE everything works remotely. How can I make it to where everything SUE does over Samba FRED automatically has permissions to edit when logged in locally (or SSH)? Also, remember, Joe needs to be able to read where specified.
