Fedora5 samba



Hi

I installed Fedora5 on my PC.
Then I updated samba by typing

# yum install samba

and then start samba by typing

# service smb start


I tried to login samba server from WindowsXP,
but, it failed.
The error message is as follows.


--------------------------------------------------------------
smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(911)
'/home/admin' does not exist or permission denied when connecting
to [admin] Error was permission denied.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So, I change access permission like

# chmod 777 /home
# chmod 777 /home/admin

But, the result was same.

I tried many times and found that the result of "login"
was different by start up method of "smb".

[case1]-------------------------------------------------------
# cd /etc/init.d
# sh smb start
or
# /usr/sbin/smbd -D
# /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
--------------------------------------------------------------

[case 2]------------------------------------------------------
# cd /etc/init.d
# ./smb start
or
# service smb start
or
# chkconfig smb on
# reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------

In [case1], I could login to samba server from WindowsXP.
In [case2], I couldn't. And the error message was same(Permission
denied).

Please help me!
