I'm having a lot of trouble setting up a Samba share on a virgin F15
install.
Right now everything works until I click on a shared file (via Samba). At
that point I get a "the file or folder smb://nas/TEST does not exist" error.
This is what smbclient shows for 192.168.1.10, ie nas, my Samba server.
$ smbclient -U% -L192.168.1.10
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.11-71.fc15]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
TEST Disk
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version
3.5.11-71.fc15)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.11-71.fc15]
Server Comment
--------- -------
E4200
NAS Samba Server Version 3.5.11-71.fc15
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WORKGROUP E4200
For the longest time smbclient showed there was no master. Today, my
E4200 wireless router, which has file sharing is showing up as master. I'm
not sure if I should be OK with that or not. Given my smb.conf file, I was
expecting nas to be the master. There doesn't appear to be a way to turn
file sharing off in the E4200. Maybe if I set the workgroup on it to null ?

[global]
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
wins support = Yes
cups options = raw
workgroup = workgroup
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[TEST]
path = /home/me/test/
guest ok = yes
read only = no
browseable = yes
Any ideas on why Samba isn't working ?
FWIW, I only used SWAT for looking at potential settings and setting a
couple globals. The rest I've been doing by hand. And I've been
restarting nmb and smb manually after each change.
I'm finding the online documentation for Samba to be umm... wanting. I'll
post up a little HOWTO when I get my NAS going.
Thanks
