Yeah, I figured that out (finally!). It still doesn't work right, but I'll get there.

Okay, I can't just drop a teaser like that.

I have my machine configured to run VMWare Server with a NAT ethernet connection, and with samba running, I can see the host with "printers and faxes" and "scheduled tasks," but no drives. The whole point of this is to get access to my host drives from my Windows on VMWare guest. Here's my smb.conf:


have you configured smbpasswd's for your windows users? I don't see a security method there, I'll assume the default is USER, which corresponds to how Windows NT/2K/XP work. Also, both of your shares, [homes] and [tmp] are browseable=no which means they won't show up in browser queries.

I recommend walking through the 'getting started' documentation on the Samba site.


# cat smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = MARKGROUP
        server string = Samba Server
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        preferred master = Yes
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
        idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
        hosts allow = 192.168.230. 192.168.108. 127.
        cups options = raw

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        path = /home/%u
        valid users = %S
        read only = No
        browseable = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[tmp]
        comment = Temporary file space
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        guest ok = No

Now, I would expect at least to be able to see the tmp, but nothing. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.
