how to config samba on fedora 10

[asifjavaid]

hi all,

i want to configure samba on fedora 10.
here are my settings in smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = MARVELSERVICES
server string = Samba Server Version %v
interfaces = eth0
security = share
log level = 1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
load printers = yes
cups options = raw

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
; valid users = %S
; valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[ghafoor-home]
comment = Home Directory of Ghafoor
path = /home/ghafoor/home
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = ghafoor
printable = yes
create mask = 0765


i have restarted the service using
service smb restart

but still unable to access linux from windows.
By doing the following
--Run-->\\192.168.1.1

the responce is "NETWORK PATH NOT FOUND"

the above ipaddress is pinging successfully without any loss of packets but can't access.



please guide me where i am wrong


Your true guidance will be highly appreciated.

Start here.
Turn the services on:

sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 smb on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 nmb on

Restart both:

sudo /sbin/service smb restart
sudo /sbin/service nmb restart

restart your smb service (service smb restart) and you can check your config file by doing testparam

At the terminal, smbclient -L 127.0.0.1

[glennzo]

Does your workgroup name reflect the workgroup name on the Windows box?

What folder are you trying to share? I believe that it's difficult to share your home folder. That's the only thing I see in your smb.conf.

[asifjavaid]

yes workgroup name is reflect the workgroup on the windows box.

smbclient -L 127.0.01

is running successfully.

I am facing a proble while accessing linux folders which i want to share from windows.

[beaker_]

What do you meen running successfully?

smbclient -L 127.0.0.1

Did it list your shares, prompt you for a password, or refuse connection?

[asifjavaid]

yes smbclient -L 127.0.0.1

does list my shares, and prompt for password, within the same machine linux machine.

[beaker_]

check your firewall (both windows & Linux), put selinux into permissive mode (for now), and are you certain of the ipaddress. You're implying eith0 is 192.168.1.1.

Sorry try smbclient -L 192.168.1.1 anyway.

[asifjavaid]

yes
selinux was at disabled mode.
I have set the selinux to permissive mode.
My linux machine is on eith0 192.168.1.1

I want to access it from windows but fails to access.
NETWROK PATH NOT FOUND.


but this Ipaddress is ping successfully.

[beaker_]

That's ok. We just keep working outward, starting with linux, then moving over to windows.

Confirm you can see your shares with konqueror, in the address bar type smb://127.0.0.1, then try smb://192.168.1.1. Can you see your shares?

Or at the terminal try 'nautilus smb://127.0.0.1', then try 'nautilus smb://192.168.1.1'.



----
Sorry for the late edit. You could jump conclusions and try adding these smb.conf

interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.1.1/24
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24

[asifjavaid]

I have trying in konqueror smb://192.168.1.1
only home folder is displaying but no my ghafoor folder?

[asifjavaid]

hi all

yes
now i am getting all my share folders in konqueror smb://192.168.1.1

but cannot access them from windows

please guide me

your true guidance is highly appreciated

comment out

[ghafoor-home]
comment = Home Directory of Ghafoor
path = /home/ghafoor/home
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = ghafoor
# printable = yes
# create mask = 0765


then restart samba (service smb restart) and try again with konqueror.
