Samba Mamba Hassle

[Slobnak]

Hello there,

I'm having a few problems getting samba running on my wyn98 machine. I know its running because I can use swat, but whenever I try to open the linux share I keep getting a message about "no permission to access resourse", I know Zonealarm was causing a few problems but I've switched it of.


Any ideas, probably something really obvious,
Cheers for any help http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

As I don't know which resource you try to share (home directory, printer, any directory) I'll give you a quick and dirty trick :

[your resource]
public yes

the second line line is to be put in your /etc/smb.conf file

further those could help
[global]
available=yes
browseable=yes
writeable=yes
security=user
preserve case=yes
short preserve case=no
os level=64
path=/home/samba/netlogon
netbios name=<your machine name>
workgroup=<your windows domain name>
=====================
encrypt passwords=yes /* may be it'here */
=====================
wins support=yes
logon script=%U.bat
logon drive=H:
logon home=\%N\home\%U
logon path=\%N\home\samba\profiles\U%
preferred master=yes
domain logons=yes
domain master=yes

then read the doc. about smbpasswd and /etc/smbpasswd you'll really need it whith encrypted password that are mandatory with W98 and further.
after that configure your Win98 WorkStation as a member of a "DOMAIN" not a workgroup.
