Hi, I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm missing from the following smb.conf file, or elsewhere, that is stopping a newly installed Redhat 8 server being seen by an NT 4.0 server and Windows 98 clients. There is definitely a network connection - I can use smbclient on the redhat server and access the NT shares. And there seems to be broadcasting going on, as when I alter the server string the change is seen on the Windows clients, but when I then double click on the redhat Server icon in network neighbourhood I get the error that the network path was not found. I can ping by name and IP address both ways, from redhat to windows and from windows to redhat. When I do smbclient -L server-name on the redhat server itself it shows the shares as active, but when I do the same on a Linux client I get connection refused errors, which I guess means it's some sort of permission problem. I've tried adding the users as samba users, with the same passwords. In the midst of all this have been able to get the Redhat server to join the NT domain, using the smbpasswd -j domain-name -r nt-pdc If anyone can help to point me in the right direction it would be very, very much appreciated. Have been through the smb.conf man pages, but I must be missing something. Not sure exactly what though. Thanks again, Neil. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from brandrh (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/12/04 17:44:39 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = BRAND.CO.UK netbios name = BRANDRH server string = RedHat 8 Server security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = brandnt passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* password level = 8 username level = 8 unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 33 local master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 128.1.1.1 printing = lprng [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/neil read only = No guest ok = Yes [neil] comment = Neil's Home Folder path = /home/neil valid users = neil, administrator read only = No -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
