I was able to connect to internet using PPPoE until I configured Samba network and set the machine as its server; does this two related? Is it possible there's a conflicting configuration, say DNS server config for example?
First off I would like to install a GUI for samba. After that I want to set up my network so that router stays as the server for the network I have four windows computers already hanging off of the router. This machine which has Slackware on it is hardwired, directly connected, to the router via cat-5 cables. I have samba installed already and I just need to configure it correctly.
I've been running a Samba server under RedHat 8 for five years without a hiccup. I want to cut over to a F10 box but cannot get shares accessible. smbclient attempts fail over NT password error. SELinux is disabled. Server is visible on the network. Users require no password access to shared data.
smb.conf follows:
# Samba config file created using SWAT # from UNKNOWN (>) # Date: 2009/06/12 14:15:15
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 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 tried Username = W7 usernameDomain=my workgroup (MSHOME)Password=W7 login passwordbut it prompts me same thing again...checked some other related threads but couldn't get any luck.
The goal is the following: I want one samba network share with all my family data. Multiple users should have access to this share from Win7 pcs but not all folders should be access able by everyone. The old windows server managed this by changing ntfs rights for these folders.
I've installed Samba and this recommended gnome utility (Ubuntu 10.4). First for testing I made a samba share with access right for everyone. Everything fine on Win... Then I only allowed for my user. Also worked after a little bit of playing with the global samba settings and the pw encryption... Then I created a new ubuntu user and configured a new samba user with the connection to this ubuntu user (like described in many tutorials using the samba config tool). I changed the access right of the samba share to allow the new user also but no connection was possible. At this point the original user was working from the same pc without any problem.
I started thinking of the windows time and decided to search for the file system rights like it was with the ntfs. I'm using ext4 by the way. I made chmod 777 -R from the new users login... (i'm not sure why there is no user dependency for chmod) I used chown -R but it seems that there is only one owner allowed so I switched back to my main user... I installed an additional feature called ACL and was able to set users and groups for the root folder but there is no possibility to recursively change all subdirs. I used such a ACL gui extension for gnome which is in the ubuntu repository to do that. It also wasn't helping for the problem that the new user has no access to the folder (even if I change the rights manually)
User A & B have access rights at least for the root of the share. Both users have a ubuntu and a samba account. Only user A is working with samba.
I have one PC (morpheus) on which I've chosen to share a couple of folders in the home directory. The folders show the "Shared" icon in them and are chmod 777'd. I can access them by going to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares -> Workgroup -> Morpheus -> Foldername ... but *only* on that same computer (Morheus). All my computers are running Kubuntu with KDE 4.5 and attached by ethernet.
If I try and go to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares on *any* other computer, Dolphin just reports "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be cause by an enabled firewall." I've never set up a firewall on any of these computers. Do I need to open ports on my router just for this? Morpheus is set to DMZ mode on the router so it should accept *any* port request not assigned to another computer already.
I have a feeling that there's just something obvious I don't know, because in all my years of trying to get this to work on and off, I've never managed to find a decent *simple* CLI or GUI based tutorial or figure it out myself. The web just seems full of long threads of people having very specific problems unique to their situation trying to sort them out. I just want to share folders over a lan via KDE.
I have a samba-share that mounts on my desktop. But how do I find it from applications? When I browse from application is not visible in the desktop folder.
PS. I find it with smb://pathway, but I don't know how I can do it from some gui-applications.
find that i cant access from my ubuntu box (desktop), now running 11.04 (i was able to access yesterday, when i tested the config). I CAN access from my XP and Win7 virtualboxes.and also from another win7 on the house.. So server is working good aparently.This is all i modified from the default config file:
Code: ####### Authentication ####### # "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
my main computer hostname is home, and the others are ubuntu and eduardo.In home, I try to configure samba, downloading it with "sudo apt-get install samba" and then downloading at the synaptic manager the samba-common-bin thing.I shared my folders as ROOT in home and I cannot access from ubuntu and eduardo.Then I googled and I found this site: Quote:URL]Well... I follow all steps and I can't access these files.What I need to do to share files between these computers???
I need to access a windows share at my university's server. When I am at the university, I can access the share by nautilus (or dolphin) in a similar way to ftp:
smb://domain%5Cusername@server/share
The thing is that when I try the above anywhere else except the university, it does not connect. I guess it has something to do with the domain, but I am not sure.
My work uses an internal software suite where the data is hosted with a linux server. It uses mysql and samba shares. We are currently opening a new location and need to be able to access the samba shares. We are able to access the mysql databases. The samba shares are used to store various files for the software such as updates, invoices (as pdf files), etc. I've setup vpn connections using windows servers in the past but I can't, for the life of me, get a VPN server setup on our linux server that windows will connect to. I've tried openvpn and pptp. I'd prefer to use the built in windows client to connect.
I had 10.04 set up in my computer so that I had two folders in home, they connected to folders in a windows 7 computer by adding the following to the fstab file:
I cannot access my Ubuntu samba server using windows XP or 7. I keep getting prompted for a username/password. I have created both a unix username with password and a samba username with the same password i used for the unix user. When windows prompts me for the username/password i give it the same one i created on the samba server, but it still will not take it. I know samba is running because i can view the shares but cannot access them without getting prompted for username/password. I just have the one user for now while i am testing, but there will be more.
I have tried following several online tutorials but can not get to the CD ROM Drive on my SUSE machine from my Netbook (Win XP). When I try to map the CD ROM from the PC it tells me \Netbookcd rom (Netbook is the NetBios name and cd rom is the share in SAMBA) the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error occurred. More data is available I have been struggling with this for several days have researched the LINUX Bible and several places online but cannot seem to get anywhere. I have learned a little about SAMBA and SWAT but not enough to make this work.
i have to different routers in my home. One is at&t dsl modem other is dlink wireless n router.
I have my ubuntu server connected to my att modem as this is the only way I can get it to work. As I can only connect to my server from the outside of my home.
Problem is my desktop and laptops use the dlink because its faster and giver me more bandwidth so everything in my home is wirelessly connected to it.
I use ubuntu as web server, proxy server, and dns server. I have all my computers useing the proxy server my just inputting my proxy address as 192.168.1.0 which is my ubuntu address. But my computers use 192.168.0.0 as this is how dlink is setup.
So anyone know how I can get all my pc's on the network 192.168.0.0 to connected to my samba server which is on 192.168.1.0? Can I setup my dlink dir-615 as a access point? So that it shows up in the 192.168.1.0 network. Or can i configure my pc's to look into the 192.168.1.0 network to see the samba server?
I am trying to properly mount a samba share in order to access it from a terminal and run a script that I've written over a folder in the share. How could I do that? I tried smbclient but after successfully logging in I couldn't issue the sh command. Isn't it possible to have it mounted in the /mnt folder like a normal filesystem?
I have created a shared folder via nautilus. I can not access it, because it asks me for user name and password again and again. I'm sure both username and password are exactly right. But I can not access the folder. Only when I check "Allow guest user access" it will allow me to access my data, Which is not secure enough for me.
I have been having problems with Samba sharing from my Ubuntu-Server to all of my Windows 7 machines. All of the machines are able to access the samba shares however when i try to write to these shares i get a "Access Denied" error. This only happens under windows 7, my Ubuntu laptop easily writes to these shares. PS My permissions are read/write to all
I want to setup samba on Maverick. This is the case. I have 2 folders want to be shared, freeaccess and restrictedaccess. The freeaccess folder can be accessed by everyone on network. The restritedaccess folder can only be accessed with account named someone. What I want to ask is, how to setup samba that can solve that case...??
At first I installed debian 5 and I want enter on my workgroup using windows XP PCs, in same time I want use firewall now when I stop firewall I can access on the pcs but when I start iptables and open port for samba such as 137,138,138 and 445 I can't access on any PC on work group this is the output of iptables - L command:
Code: Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:netbios-ns state NEW ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:netbios-dgm state NEW ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:netbios-ssn state NEW ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:microsoft-ds state NEW
I successfully installed Samba, but have problem with access to any shared folder on my secondary drive. If I try access secondary drive with admin user, everything is fine. If with another account try to access via samba to shared folder on partition with Ubuntu, everything is fine again. Every folder has set privileges to read&write to everyone, so shouldn't be problem here.
I have Samba share setup on my Laptop running Lucid Lynx, for my home network,wireless The copy speed for my movies, when I access them from Windows laptop is too pathetic. Took 22 min to copy around ~1.6GB of data, giving me a speed of only 1.2 MB/s
Haven't seen nething that bad What settings do I have on my server which can improve the copy speed ??Smb.conf is pretty simple and default
Code: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = scooby-laptop server string = "ScoobyDo server (Samba, Ubuntu)" dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
I am traveling to the UK next week, and whilst I am there, I need to be able to access my SAMBA shares hosted on my HOMESERVER, via my laptop in england.
I have tried Hamachi before, which works fine on windows, but the linux version is awful, and hardly works. So I need an alternative. I did a bit of googling, but I don't know what "bridged" means when I found a OpenVPN tutorial
I was wondering if anyone could give me some information as to what I'll need, and what I'll need to do on both my homeserver and my laptop?
I have a Linux Box running Fedora 13, it has Samba installed, and I have configured it, I also have a Windoze 7 PC, I want to be able to access the Windoze PC's files from my Linux Box, and vice versa, but when I try to open the Windoze PC in the network on my Linux Box, it asks for my Username and Password, I enter them, the box goes away then pops back up asking for them again... and on the Windoze PC, I find my Linux on the network, open it, it asks for my username and password, I enter them, and it lets me in, but then when I try opening my shared folder, it gives me: "You do not have permission to access \LINUX Shared Folder. Contact your network administrator to request access".
I am using samba version 3 (probably), and the problem is that the linux based nas can only be accessed via its ip 192.168.x.x but not its hostname /server string appointed by the smb.conf file:
Code: [global] netbios name = NAS server string = NAS smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
