samba trouble

palinux · 2009-12-22 00:27:56

hello everyone
I got a little problem with samba server

Every time i try to access my samba server (from linux) gives me this message: "file or folder smb://archlinux/DOCUMENTOS doesn't exist" (archlinux it's my localhost, and it's added in /etc/hosts)

I can view the folders i'm sharing, but not access them.. it's like they're empty

From the winbugs PC i can't do either of them.

My smb.conf it's pretty simply, 'cause it's a home network, so i didn't modify anything else but workgroup and security
this is it:

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
workgroup = INICIOMS

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server

# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
security = share

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
;   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes

# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
;   printcap name = /etc/printcap

# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
# system
;   printcap name = lpstat

# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, cups, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
;   printing = cups

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
;  guest account = pcguest

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 50

# Use password server option only with security = server
# The argument list may include:
#   password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
# or to auto-locate the domain controller/s
#   password server = *
;   password server = <NT-Server-Name>

# Use the realm option only with security = ads
# Specifies the Active Directory realm the host is part of
;   realm = MY_REALM

# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.
;   passdb backend = tdbsam

# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting.
# Note: Consider carefully the location in the configuration file of
#       this line.  The included file is read at that point.
;   include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m

# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
;   interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
;   local master = no

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
;   os level = 33

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
;   domain master = yes

# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
;   preferred master = yes

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.
;   domain logons = yes

# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
;   logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
;   logon script = %U.bat

# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
#        %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
#        You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
;   logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
;   wins support = yes

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
#    Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z

# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one    WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
;   wins proxy = yes

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The default is NO.
dns proxy = no
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
logon home = \\%25N\%25U
logon path = \\%25N\%25U\profile

# These scripts are used on a domain controller or stand-alone
# machine to add or delete corresponding unix accounts
;  add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u
;  add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
;  add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u
;  delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u
;  delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/deluser %u %g
;  delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g


#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no

[MÚSICA]
path = /home/indeciso/Música/
guest ok = yes
comment = todo en mp3

[DOCUMENTOS]
path = /home/indeciso/Documentos
guest ok = yes

I've already try adding some variables like "browseable" and others but none of them works
I think there's a problem on the specification of shared folders (but in smb.conf they are ok, so probabbly is the place they are pointing to)

any help will be preciated

greetings

Here is my smb.conf that you can adapt to your network. It works for me. Be sure you make a user for samba as well:

# smbpasswd -a username

[global]
   workgroup = nas
   server string = nas
   security = user
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

[nas]
   comment = nas files
   path = /media/nas
   valid users = hope
   force user = hope
   force group = hope
   writable = yes
   create mask = 0755

graysky thanks a lot for your answer, i try it but then again... it happens just the same..
i'm starting to think it's a bug, but didn't know certainly..

thanks anyway

Post the following:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/hosts
ls -l /home/indeciso

You must restart samba whenever you make a modification to your smb.conf (/etc/rc.d/samba restart). Did you do this?

palinux · 2009-12-23 06:23:19

the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is at the top of the discussion, 'cause after trying with yours i change it back to mine

here is:

/etc/hosts

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost myhost
127.0.0.1    archlinux.localdomain    localhost archlinux
# End of file

and

$ ls -l /home/indeciso
[indeciso@archlinux ~]$ ls -l /home/indeciso
total 40
drwxrwxrwx 22      500   500 4096 dic 22 01:53 Descargas
