Hey all, I've been posting to the Linux forum here on Tek-Tips. I can't believe I never found this forum but here it is. Anyway, here are my posts (cleaned up some). Can anyone here help me 'cuz it's still not working.
First post:
Hey all,
I'm running Fedora 9 with the new core (2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686). I now have Samba (samba-3.2.0-2.17.fc9.i386) working and I can see my "shared" folder on my Linux box from my XP SP3 computer but I can't access the folder. I've tried User Security and Share Security but no joy. I keep getting a "\\server\share is not accessible" error when I try to connect. I've 777'ed the folder and tried making the owner me and root but I still can't get in. <snip> I even followed the instructions on this page: and I still wasn't able to access the folder. <snip>
Second post:
Here's what's in the log.smbd file:
[2008/08/21 07:12:04, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1152)
'/share' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [share] Error was Permission denied
[2008/08/21 07:12:08, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1152)
'/share' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [share] Error was Permission denied
[2008/08/21 07:12:08, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1152)
'/share' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [share] Error was Permission denied
One connection attempt gives these three error messages in the log. I checked in log.nmbd and there wasn't anything in there. I tried using smbpasswd to set myself up using my Fedora password, and when that didn't work I tried it with my Windows password. I even included the "guest ok = yes" parameter in smb.conf thinking that would bypass any password requirements. Nope. I even added root to my smbpasswd list 'cuz I read somewhere that I needed to add root to get it to work. What should my next step be?
<snip>
(Suggested smb.conf configuration for share)
[share]
browseable = no
public = no
writeable = yes
path = /some-real-filesystem-path
create mode = 775
available = yes
directory mode = 775
Most recent post:
I setup my smb.conf file like you suggested. Now when I try to connect to \\IPAddress\share I get a "Connect to..." window. BUT, when I put in my Fedora login name and password this error is still popping up in log.smbd:
[2008/08/21 08:41:10, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1152)
'/share' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [share] Error was Permission denied
I even tried connecting as root from my XP machine and I get the same error. As a test I tried to create a file in \share (from my Linux machine) and did that successfully. Then I tried editing the file. That worked too.

Thanks,
