Hello,

I'm trying to set up samba on my RH 7.1 machine. I can see at boot up that the server daemon is initialized. I have configured the smb.conf just like the one at work, with the appropriate (I hope) modifications.

When I attempt to make a smbpasswd with I get the following error:Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused)
unable to connect to SMB server on machine 127.0.0.1. Error was : code 0.
Failed to change password for xxx

What needs configured? Is this a problem with my ipchains or some other config file?

Thanks in advance.
