Samba version

[Wh0M3]

How can I find out what version of Samba I'm running. I'm new to linux and just installed Fedora Core 4 x86_64 and I want to learn how to use samba. I've been reading that I want to use Samba 3.x but I don't know how to check and see what I have.

Is there a simple command that I can use to find out or can I assume (I don't like to assume anything) that because I'm running FC4 it has version 3?

thx
-PD

#rpm -qa samba

cool, thanks.

Please let us know if you can get samba working properly WITH SELinux protection.

Please let us know if you can get samba working properly WITH SELinux protection.

That should be interesting.. So far I have been able to connect to a windows network, ping and be pinged by windows with out having to disable SELinux.. The only thing is I can't see the linux box listed in the windows (View workgroup computers) but I can type in the IP and connect. The only thing is, I can see my shared folder, but I can't do anything with it. Like add a file or something. It comes back with:

ShareDrive is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...

This is where I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

I think am almost there.. But I need some help still.
for some reason i can access my shared dir, but I can't write anything to it.

testparm show this:

[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = LinuxBox
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/16
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = No
guest account = <username>
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
wins proxy = Yes
wins support = Yes
idmap uid = 16777216-33664431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.

[SharedDrive]
comment = linux_shared_drive
path = /mnt/windows
read only = No

I have chmod -R 777 /mnt/windows
and chown <username> /mnt/windos

But I still can't write to /mnt/windows from the network
any ideas?

btw, I still haven't touched SELinux

This is where I am so far, I see we are going about it different ways but that is good--

[global]
workgroup = GROUP
netbios name = FEDORA
server string = Samba Server
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*success fully*
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No

[larry]
path = /fedorshare/larry
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

[theresa]
path = /fedorshare/theresa
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

I made my shares off root and sym linked to each users home,they live on the same FC5 machine and they share to a winxp workgroup. permissions are 777 but the only way I have read right from one to another is to System/Admin/security-level/selinux/modify/samba
[X] disable SELinux protection for smbd daemon

I also tried this first leaving SELinux enforcing -
chcon -t samba_share_t /fedorshare/larry
chcon -t samba_share_t /fedorshare/theresa
Did not work

And then saved this
/fedorshare/larry(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t
/fedorshare/theresa(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t
into a file called file_contexts.local,here
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local
and then forced a relabel

#su
#touch /.autorelabel
#reboot

and now my files look like this

#ls -lZ /fedorshare/larry
-rw-rw-r-- larry larry system_u:object_r:samba_share_t Screenshot.png
-rw-rw-r-- larry larry user_u:object_r:samba_share_t smb.conf

But I still have to have SELinux disabled for smbd daemon to allow shareing,writing, back and forth. This last bit from
#man samba_selinux
I had similar results using [home].
