Description Rainer Hattenhauer 2003-09-29 16:10:55 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703

Description of problem:
From windows box, you can "see" the fedora samba 3 server, but you can't access
or browse shares even in security=share mode.

See attachement of smb.conf, I used the same smb.conf as for samba v2 which
worked with RH9.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.edit workgroup and server string in smb.conf
2.edit security=share in smb.conf
3./etc/init.d/smb restart
    

Actual Results:  See the samba share in the network environment of the windoze
box, but trying to use it (by simple clicking) yields. Message (translation from
german, maybe bad):

You cannot access to the computer. Probably you have no rights to use this
network ressource.



Expected Results:  Browse the linux / samba box

Additional info:

Probably a configuration issue of the new samba v3. Some additional
configuration of the default smb.conf should be done to give unexperienced users
(like me ;-)) a simple startup.

Configuration using redhat-config-samba doesn't work too, by the way. With RH 9,
it went straightforward.

My smb.conf

Comment 2 David Lawrence 2003-09-29 19:15:37 UTC
Does this still happen if you run "service iptables stop" as root and then try
to browse the shares?

Comment 3 Rainer Hattenhauer 2003-09-29 19:40:23 UTC
No, you're right:

when I run /sbin/service iptables stop, I'm able to browse the defined share. 
I only cannot access to the share (same access restriction message), but that 
might be due to my configuration (I should create a smb-user to access the 
shrare). I will tell you tomorrow if I had success.


Comment 4 David Lawrence 2003-09-29 19:51:30 UTC
Ok, please remember to close this report then if it works out.

Comment 5 David Lawrence 2003-10-01 20:39:15 UTC
Comment from Rainer Hattenhauer:

O.k. now everything works fine except the redhat-config-samba tool. It doesn't
produce proper smb.conf files, perhaps a little more work on this field is needed.
I've been edited the file by hand without using the redhat-config-samba tool,
and had been able to work with a share even in security=user mode (smbpasswd
needed).

And you have to set up your firewall properly to get access to the samba share,
workaround: /sbin/service iptables stop for testing purposes of samba.

Thanks for help
