Fedora 17 two Samba Issues

[L3l00]

Okay I apologize for talking about one problem I posted a few months back, got swamped with other more important projects at the office.

First, Samba is working just fine among all the computers. Obviously I have the server static. Issue, the Server it'self cannot access the Network Folder at all!?

I will click the Browse Network, sometimes it wont even let me in. Other times it will show the Windows and if I click it it would show the companies workgroup name (if I take my time clicking it); then eventually give me an error message: "Failed to retrieve share list from server"

--------------------------------------------------------

The other thing, this is weird and even at my house (samba works great there).
I use sytem-config-samba to add users to the samba share (yes I did make the users on the Linux comp)

say I made two users: user1, user2 - passwords whatever for both

Only the first user on top in the system-config-samba would work and only the first user
If I try to use user2, it would loop back to the input login and password no matter how many times I enter in user2's name and password. If I where to make it where user1 is second on the system-config-samba list and user2 ontop. I wouldn't be able to use user1

Have you enabled browsing?

Whats the output of:

grep browsea /etc/samba/smb.conf -B1
grep "users =" /etc/samba/smb.conf
grep "\[public\]" /etc/samba/smb.conf -A6
grep workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf

After the changes made, make sure they're valid with:

testparm

Hope this helps

Okay on my companies Server, FINALLY got it to let me access the network shares. This is what I did.

First tried:

sudo smbclient -L localhost

result I was getting:

NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE



so I used:

sudo iptables -L
sudo iptables -F
sudo service smb restart

Went root then tried

sudo smbclient -L localhost

then it let me in! Yay

Still wasn't allowing me in the folders so I checked my /etc/smb.conf through nano

Ctrl+W : winsupport

noticed a semi-colon before it, and of course yes I did have it equal to "yes."
Deleted the semi-colon, Saved and Exited then restarted the smb service.

Now it is letting me in!


However! Still having issues logging in with other usernames other than the top one I added first to system-config-users.


I tried using a different users smb password while using:

smbclient -L localhost

it let me in just fine, the gui however does not.

SOLVED last issue!


Like before, had a share folder and only the top user of the system-config-samba I added was allowed access to the folder?

Went first to:

sudo system-config-users

added all the users to the group "Q" (Company starts with a Q) through user properties.

then opened /etc/samba/smb.conf scrollled to the bottom and added:

admin users = ...

The other users
