[Tfug] samba

[Anthony Steckman]

Your smb.conf looks fine. I'm not sure what locking does but I'm giving 
you the benefit of the doubt. If I'm wrong to do so, remove that line. 
If I'm not, I wouldn't mind hearing more about it.

Is this a peer-to-peer? I don't really know enough about 2K... Is there 
a workgroup involved like there would be on 9x systems? If so, you may 
need to declare the workgroup or NT Domain name (workgroup = 
nameofgroup).

If you're saying you can get into other directories, I assume this isn't 
the entire smb.conf...

If this does represent the full thing, I'm surprised it works at all 
(pretty sure it either has to be peer-to-peer with a workgroup declared 
or you have to have more stuff to enable domain logons).

It's been awhile since I've shared anything from my Linux box with my 
Windows machine (around here, it usually works the other way around). If 
none of this helps, you may want to consult 
http://www.tfug.org/aup.html, take two aspirin, and look for a better 
response in the morning.

. Hello group,
. 
. was wondering if I could get some help. When I configured samba this is how
. I set up smb.conf.   However, from a Win2k  machine I cannot access shared
. or apps folder.  I can access the home folders depending on how I have
. logged into the Win2k machine but continue to get a "network path not found
. error" when I try to access the shared or apps folder.  Any help would be
. greatly appreciated.
