Samba What a struggle

[Mike Westkamper]

Here is a suggestion...

Do a simple setup and make sure everything works then add security/etc as
nesessary

/etc/samba/smb.conf

workgroup = WORKGROUP
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1. < this should limit to your local subnet, if
you don't know what that is then leave it commented out>
security = share

host

[testshare]
 comments = test share
 path = <some directory that is already created, full pathname from root>
 public = yes
 writable = yes
 create mask = 0777

then

service smb start

or

service smb restart

good luck

  Dear Fedora users. I am having my days with Fedora setting up Samba. I
work according to the manuals and follow the basic instructions but with no
hope. It refuses me to access the server.

  The things that I set was : Workgroup, server string, password with
unix=yes, etc. Well I cant get it to ask for my password and username to
grant me access to the server. Got any suggestions or settings that I should
look at?

  Thank you in advance.

  Chris
