Roger,

I have a RH7.3 server set up and Samba works great. I access it from my
Windows XT machine via my network places.

I have set up Samba on FC5. Workgroup is supervisor (For some reason it
will not take caps for supervisor) Security authentication mode is
User. Encrypt passwords yes with no guest account. I set a user as Unix
name dps2300 windows username dps2300 samba password 12345678. I did do
a smbpasswd for dps2300 as 12345678 also...

On the windows machine in my network places I can see Samba Server
(Fedora5). When I click on it, it shows me a list of directories
available. I click on it and it asks for user name and password I put
in dps2300 and 12345678 and it does not allow me in. States it is not
accessible.

I can click on my RH7.3 and get right in...

Thanks!

Hello,

Looking for help with Samba. I can see the shares on the Fedora

machine

from my windows machine. It asks for a user name and pw and does not
allow me to access it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I assume your Fedora machine is the samba-server.
How do you authenticate? smbpasswd? if yes, is your user in smbpasswd?
is
your machine also in smbpasswd?

Roger

Dan,
do you have any entries in /var/log/messages that say that selinux
disallows mounting samba-shares?

look for {avc denied} messages which have samba in their lines. You can
try it is selinux, if you set selinux permissive. As root execute
'setenforce permissive' - does this help?

I have a similar problem and I don't have Selinux activated
I am logged as same user on two computer on same network: when I look
in the computer I see homes and Progetto, I can enter in Progetto and
see files, but if I click on homes I get a message that Content of
folder cannot be seen-

In both cases, it looks like an authentication problem. SELinux or any
firewall in the system could be the problem, but I'm betting on samba
authentication.

First of all, make sure that you have added yourself and your password to
smbpasswd. Then, one or two comments about samba.conf

This is my samba.conf file.Any comment??

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2005/03/22 08:49:21

# Global parameters
[global]
dns proxy = No
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
server string = PC Antonio
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
guest ok = Yes
os level = 255
null passwords = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/user.map
preferred master = no
max log size = 50
wins support = true

I don't see any workgroup= line, but since you say you can see the shares,
that's probably not the cause of the current problems. The username map=
should be deleted unless you need to map names and passwords that don't match
the ones on your samba server. You probably don't need the wins support line
either. If in doubt, comment them out so that they are easily added back.

Null passwords is not a good idea. Use security = user in the global section,
which will prompt for user passwords. Then add a line as below for the
public directory.

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No


[Progetto]
path = /home/public
read only = No
public = yes
