fedora + samba

[grats]

trying to get fedora 15.. (gnome 3) to work with samba to get windows sharing working... it took like 5 minutes to get it working on fedora 14... now I can't get it to work for the life of me on f15..

I got like remote connection stuff all working... web, ts3 server.. pretty much everything in the world working except samba share over a windows network

if anyone could give me a hand, even if you want to remote connect to help.. much appreciated

Never used Fedora... I'm downloading it now. I'll put it on my laptop and try a few things out. When I found a solution for this I'll post.

thanks!

samba has changed a LOT on fedora15.. on 14 there was a little box where you could add a user.. on 15 a bunch of people are having problems & no gui

Samba is pretty straightforward no? Check /etc/samba/smb.conf and that's it.

been through it again and again.. it was straight forward in 14, followed 5+ different tutorial walk through's too


in 15 it doesn't let me add users through terminal.. to samba.. in 14 it had a gui to add users which worked fine.. since this error of adding users nothing lets me login, no tutorial I've followed is able to get it working with 15

# smbpasswd -h
When run by root:
smbpasswd [options] [username]
otherwise:
smbpasswd [options]

options:
-L local mode (must be first option)
-h print this usage message
-s use stdin for password prompt
-c smb.conf file Use the given path to the smb.conf file
-D LEVEL debug level
-r MACHINE remote machine
-U USER remote username
extra options when run by root or in local mode:
-a add user
-d disable user
-e enable user
-i interdomain trust account
-m machine trust account
-n set no password
-W use stdin ldap admin password
-w PASSWORD ldap admin password
-x delete user
-R ORDER name resolve order


Should work? :)

Post your configuration file? (And strip out any real private stuff)

Did you start samba? Restart it? Reload it?

yea I always restart it a lot

I just changed the config to this:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2551954

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = greg
[share1]
path = /tmp
[share2]
path = /home/greg/Desktop
comment = Some random files

I have nothing real private over this lan, you guys can see all my stuff idc

they said that was bare minimal so I was seeing if that one would work


does samba need permissions for stuff? I know httpd needed permissions to write for some php upload script I did




firewall is allowing samba

Here's mine (Gentoo Linux), stripped: (I also have those workgroup lines)


[Merlijn Share]
comment = Merlijn Public Folder
browseable = yes
create mode = 644
read only = no
valid users = merlijn
path = /home/merlijn
guest ok = no


Perhaps have a look at the example files provided by fedora? That's what I did with gentoo anyway.

not seeing it still, I am starting to think something blocks it from showing... but what? selinux and firewall are allowing it.. is there something else?
