Alright, I've been trying to configure samba to let me log into my god damn password protected share for HOURS now, and the stupid friggin thing keeps insisting my password is wrong!Here is my configuration file with the share causing trouble. Anything removed is default crap that comes in every smb.conf file:

I have update my linux server from mandriva 9 to mandriva 2010
I was working using samba 2.2.8 and now I have samba 3.5.3.I have transfer all passwd and smbpasswd to new linux.I have convert smbpasswd to tdbsam
when i am using win xp to logon on samba domain the windows XP does not load profiles from samba. I think that the problem is NTUSER.DAT storing in /home/user/profile
The same profile is working using samba 2.2.8 but not working in samba 3.5.3..
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.
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:
setsebool -P samba_domain_controller on
Trying to connect to samba locally gives me this:
Code:
[tedward@hp-firegate ~]$ smbclient //192.168.0.1/storage -Utedafur

Ive managed to install samba, I've shared a folder. I can access from a Windows 7 machine via \ubuntupublic. I can put files in the folder form the ubuntu machine and edit them on the windows box. I can put files in the folder/share from the Windows box but then I cannot edit them on the Ubuntu machine (they are read only and have a "Lock" over them). I can fix this by going to the properties of the file/folder in Windows and manually assigning "Everybody" full control (then the lock disappears and all is well.) I want read/write access to all the folders contents from both machines all the time (security is NOT a concern I WANT the permissions wide open) what am I doing wrong?

I have a small home network. Computers A and B are both running Kubuntu Lucid. Computer A has an external USB hard drive attached, partitioned ext3 and mounted to a folder in computer A's home folder. Computer C is running Vista. I installed Samba, and computer C can access all the files on both computers A and B. But using Samba, computers A and B can't see each other OR computer C. That's not really important to me, but they can't
So I installed NFS and got computers A and B talking that way. I like NFS better. It's faster than Samba. BUT, computer B can't access computer A's USB drive, and I need it to do that. When I'm using computer B and I click on the folder the drive is mounted to, the file manager just shows the folder as empty.
I installed 9.04 last fall on my computer (switching from Win XP). I wanted to make sure that it would work for the 2-PC LAN I share with my wife, so I left XP on her machine and set up samba. It worked adequately until I switched her over to 9.04 a few months ago, and I tinkered with it and also tried to install nfs, but without any luck.
Recently I decided to try again, so I started with nfs (as recommended for Ubuntu-only networks and spent several days trying to get it going, with no luck. The last few days I've been trying to get samba going, again with no luck. (I've spent hours and hours on sites offering help with nfs and samba, googling them and searching this forum, trying different tweaks to smb.conf, etc. I've made some progress -- and learned a lot about linux, but....)
So, I am convinced that if I can clean out everything samba (and maybe nfs?), and start over, I just might be able to get back to some productive work.I've been learning a bit about using the terminal, but it would be very helpful to know the exact commands to use (I had to google "foo" today to understand what a site was trying to convey with a sample command.)
a few times a day I have to run sudo service smbd restart on my primary server to get samba working again.y working i mean being able to see the server in the workgroup and being able to type smb://phoenix/ and have a result. please help me troubleshoot this.env: server: 10.10 x64, clients: 10.10 32 & 64, 10.04, winxp all affected the same waylast time it occurred within 2 hours after a reboot. here's the config. I've been commenting out lines that I wasn't sure of in an attempt to troubleshoot this.

I've been trying to set up a media server using Ubuntu server, following the instructions from [URL]. I am trying to access the server from a windows 7 pro laptop. I can see my media server on the network. I can see the folder vol1 which I want to access, but when I double click on it, I am given an error message saying it is not accessible and I don't have permission to access it. I can access the server using webmin, and I can access its terminal with putty. I just don't know what settings to tweak.

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 have a problem connecting my OS X and Windows XP machines to an external drive that is attached via USB to my Ubuntu 10 server. I am running Samba and I believe that my config file (shown below) is appropriate.
Both the Mac and XP machines can see the server and can access a shared folder on the hard drive of the server machine. Both the Mac and XP machines can see the external drive listed in Finder (Mac) and Network (XP). However, when either machine attempts to access the contents of the drive, I get the following error messages:
Windows XP Machine [NAME OF EXTERNAL DRIVE] is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

i got 2 pc's on the same network, one runs linux ubuntu and the other win7 64bits. I installed samba for ubuntu since it seems to be the way to go to share folders and printers between linux and windows. Now I can see the folders on windows7 from linux but I cant see my linux machine on windows7.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems in accessing a storage device (NAS 200 Linksys) in a network via Ubuntu. I think the problem is with the configuration of Samba.
On my computer the login and password are the same in Ubuntu (9.04), samba and Win XP.
Under windows I view the device in the network and, when I click on its icon, a window opens with the directories that have access.
Under Ubuntu, I can see all the computers in my workgroup and the device. However when I click on its icon only a blank window is opened.
I share printers without problems.
In my settings for the samba security = user.
Does anyone know if there is any configuration that allows access to the NAS?
I installed samba (in Ubuntu 9.10) and I can access shared files in Ubuntu from Windows 7 but when I try to access W7 files from ubuntu: Places>Network, it prompts me Username,Domain, Password.

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?

I 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.
Just installed the new version of Ubuntu and having problems. My Dell Vostro works fine and the he Internet also works fine after giving the machine the router pass-phrase however the Windows 7 network showing but I cannot open it. the 2 daemons for Samba are running ok and I am just na bit stumped with this one.

I installed samba4 but did't do any difference, so I uninstalled that. Reinstalled SAMBA and the config tool for samba several times. No difference.
I would like to be able to mount a share served by my mac os X machine(10.6.1). I have read the Ubuntu community doc on Ubuntu samba clients.It didn't say what to do when using dynamic LAN I.Ps.I understand the way to go is to use avahi on the client side(Ubuntu) and Bonjour on the server side(mac os 10.6.1).I can't find anything about how this is done.What do i need to do to set up the client side(Ubuntu) to use avahi with SAMBA?.Because in the Ubuntu community doc it just referenced /etc/hosts, which is for static I.Ps.So i'm assuming that SAMBA on Ubuntu doesn't use avahi by default.All i need to know is how to set up the client side of SAMBA on Ubuntu when i'm using dynamic LAN I.Ps.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a new folder on my ubuntu machine and share it with my windows 7 machine using 'net usershare add <dir> <path>', I can't get write perms in Win 7. It keeps giving me a "You need permission to perform this action'. I've chmod the folder to 777 but still no luck.
The funny thing is, it was all working fine until I tried to add a new usershare yesterday (Can't think what I've changed). I use this sharing method to share all of my development /var/www/ folders so I can work on them from my win machine.
I have had a few problems with my samba smb.conf, and it nuked and rebuilt yesterday. I'm fairly new to the Linux game, and this permissions problem has me baffled.
I've got two computer :
- My laptop, with Ubuntu 10.04
- My PC, with Windows Seven
When I try to access my shared files ON my PC FROM my laptop, Samba ask for a password. I typed my Windows Seven login/password, pressed OK... and again, Samba asked for the password. I thought the problem came from Windows Seven, not allowing remote access from a local user account... I tried to allow anonymous access on my PC, but it didn't help...
But then, I learned I could also mount my shared files by adding a line in /etc/fstab :
Code:
//192.168.1.2/Users /media/KynePC smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/cred-file,rw 0 0
In the cred-file, I put the exact same login and password then before... and bingo, it works.
But the problem is not fully resolved, as I can only browse files from the "mounted shortcut". I can't use my remote printer anymore, or access any external HD that I share on my PC So I really need to get samba working.
I have mounted a samba share on my desktop from a remote server (with smb4k). There I created a symlink to "/". When I open the symlink with konqueror it opens the right one (the root directory of the server), but when i open this link with the shell (cd rootfs/), then it opens my local root directory (of my host)... Is it possible to open the right link with the shell?
