Hi All

I am new to setting up SAMBA.

I have 2 computers I am trying to network.

Both computers have OpenSuSE 10.0 installed.

I can SSH either one to the other. I ccan get and receiv e-mail and
connect to web site. So issue is above ping level.

I purchased "SuSE Linux 10 Bible by Davies, Whittaker, and van Hagen' and
followed setup procedure exactly. Bassically this is GUI setup.

I then tried to access the SERVER from the CLIENT and the CLIENT from the
SERVER.

I receiv the following error message on both computers:

Can not find slp:/ in the tree. Internal errot.

My /etc/samba/smb.conf filas are as follows:
<snip>

This particular problem has nothing to do with your samba configuration.
The error is referring to an absent "service locator protocol" which is
enabled in /etc/init.d/slpd, and is disabled by default (why, I do not
know, since quite a few places including Konqueror are already
configured to use it). AFAICT the system is ready to use it, and all you
need to do is enable the service, per session by running (as root)
"rcslpd start", or by enabling it with "insserv slpd" (equivalently, run
Yast, select System/System services (runlevel), and enable slpd).

Of course, you could also find all this in the SuSE Administrator's Guide.

Hi All and specially Darryl

Thanks Darryl you were right about the slp services not being activated.
They are now activated.

Unfortunately I still get exactly the same error message namelu:

Can not find slp:/ in the tree Internal Error

It was suggested to me that the source of the problem may be that the
smppasswd file and that I did not have the correct user or password set
correctly. Attached are my CLIENT and SERVER files.

SERVER smppasswd
# This file is the authentication source for Samba if 'passdb backend' is set

The user name for the CLEINT is "trunk" with password "Clienttestpw"
The user name for the SERVER is "office" with password "Servertestpw"

If someone sees something wrond with either of these files I would appreciate
their help.

Thanks
