Samba/Fedora 8 problems
 

I'm having problems getting Samba to work on Fedora 8.
Perhaps someone has an idea.

Here's the simple smb.conf I'm using:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = users
wins support = yes

[work]
comment = Work Area
path = /export/work
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
readonly = no
printable = no
browseable = yes

SELinux is disabled, no firewall.

When I run "smbclient -L localhost -U%" I get the following:

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
work Disk Work Area
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.27a-0.fc8)

Server Comment
--------- -------

Workgroup Master
--------- -------

I would expect the workgroup name and server name to be listed.

findsmb reports Samba servers on other systems, but not localhost.

I've tried with "security = share" and without the "wins" line.
I've also tried a working smb.conf from a FC 5 system.
I created a user with smbpasswd. None of this makes any difference.

I noticed that nmbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb on the FC 5
system, but that F8 doesn't. Not sure what that means.

Any suggestions?

shouldn't that be

security = user

?

smbclient -L $HOSTNAME
where $HOSTNAME is the name of your computer though localhost or ip
should work. You don't need to authenticate (a user)

what errors do you get when you do...

testparm -s

I am not sure whether this is related:

Yes, fixed it. Doesn't make any difference.

See above.

testparm -s


None (after correcting the typo).

Apparently, another typo seems to be the problem:
"readonly" should be "read only". system-config-samba
complained about it where testparm didn't.

Thanks for the help!

Apparently, this is the clue, not typos in the smb.conf.
system-config-samba starts nmbd. /etc/init.d/smb doesn't
start nmbd in F8. I need to do "chkconfig nmb on".
