cant get samba shares to work

[tomslacks]

I cant get my samba shares to work. I can see my linux server in My Network Places (win2K with AD) but I cant see any shares. I am getting an IP address from DHCP and my Linuc server is registering in WINS . When I try to get on to the Linux server in My network places I get an error box with "The network path was not found". I have added matching user accounts with matching passwd's in theWindows domain and on the Linux box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached my smb.conf file in the hope that someone will see a glaring error. I am just trying to share the tmp folder till i get the errors worked out. I have tried several different tutorials from online but none has seem to solve my problem. Thanks

You are using domain security and that opens up a box of worms.
Have you read the man pages and howtos on how to set up
domain authentication including adding user accounts?

I would institute a simple share security profile if
you need it up and running and work on the domain
config after reviewing the man pages and online docs.
Without more details on what you've done that's the
best I can do for now.

I sometimes receive the same message when the permissions on the directory I am trying to access are not set correctly.

Try to join the domain with your samba box


smbpasswd -j domain_name -r domaincontroller_name


By doing so you only have to specify user access rights on the NT PDC
