The directory appear but when I click on > it nothing happens. Does the user under which the smbd session runs have access to /home/tatia? Both services have "public = yes", which typically results in smbd running as "nobody". Whilst /tmp normally has world read/execute permissions, home directories often don't. > Test 9:>net use x: \\deltacom\tmp > The command completed successfully > > ???? It did not print anything or ask for a password See the descriptions of "public" and "guest ok" in the smb.conf(5) manpage. > I can ping from my deltacom all the hosts in DNS but > cannot ping hosts that belong to LANs served by WINS. This is why you need an nss_wins module. glibc comes with modules for text files (/etc/hosts), ".db" files, DNS, NIS/NIS+ and Hesiod lookups, but not WINS. An alternative would be a WINS <-> DNS proxy which allows DNS queries to be resolved against NetBIOS hostnames (unfortunately, Samba's "dns proxy" option does exactly the opposite of what is required here). It looks as if Samba can help to do this via the "wins hook" setting, but only when it is running as the WINS server. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@sensei.co.uk> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
