Samba.. Big problems

What does your /etc/samba/smb.conf file look like? When you start samba, check the logs for possible clues. Also, make sure you have this in the smb.conf file:
[global]
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 IP.OFYOUR.SUBNET. Bruce Garlock
bruceg@tiac.net

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 IP.OFYOUR.SUBNET. Bruce Garlock

I have all that .. it looks like this
[global]
workgroup = technology
netbios name = RedHat
server string = redhat server
security = share
log file = /var/log/samba/log/
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
wins support = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.*
hosts deny = none
guest ok = no
[testuser]
comment = Test User Folder
path = /home/testuser
guest ok = yes
create mode = 0664
printable = no
[Permissions Test]
comment = permissions test
path = /root/
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
.. I dont understand what the problem is ..samba is normally easy.

Hi
I had simular problems once, and my problem was im smb.conf:
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1
I overlooked the missing period after my subnet for quite a while. After several hours of troubbleshooting, it's frustrating to find such a simple mistake... :S
When I corrected it to:
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
it all worked like it should.

Have you looked at your logs? What are you seeing in:
/var/log/samba/log.nmb
/var/log/samab/log.smb
Is the port open? Do you have another *nix machine on that network? if so, try 'telnet server 139' and if you can connect, then the port is open. If not, you need to open it. Bruce Garlock

Here's one error: Ignoring unknown parameter "nebios name"
Should be: netbios name, not nebios name
Also, according to this, SAMBA was already running. Try restarting it: 'service smb restart' or /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
Also, hosts allow, should look like this:
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1. Bruce Garlock

Whoa - hold on a sec.. You should not have to re-install. This is a config issue somewhere, we just need to look at everything.
Where you able to connect to port 139 from a different machine?
What does 'smbclient -L serverip' (ececute this on the server) give you?

when I did the smbclient -L server ip this is what i got
[root@RedHat etc]# smbclient -L 192.168.1.10

Also, make sure SAMBA is fully shutdown, next time you restart it. Those errors say that SAMBA was already running, so maybe it did not get shutdown properly. DO this:
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop'
'ps -ef|grep smb'
'ps -ef|grep nmb'
If anything is still running, kill it off:
'kill -15 pid'
Repeat the ps -ef|grep steps after killing everything off. If something is still running, give it a 'kill -9 pid'
Check once again, if something is still running, then you may have a hung process, and need to reboot. This is doubtful. If no processes are running, do a:
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start'
and check the logs for errors. Bruce Garlock

Some of this does not match what you posted in your smb.conf file. Are you sure of your post with the smb.conf file? For example, for workgroup, your smb.conf post says "technology" but this says "THEDARKSIDE" which one is it? Bruce Garlock

Ok, and you used /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop' to stop SAMBA, right? Now get rid of whats left, by:
kill -9 pid, where pid is the process id of the command running ex:
ps -ef|grep smb
root 17242 9547 0 15:25 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
kill -9 17242
ps -ef|grep nmb
[root@linux samba]# ps -ef|grep nmb
root 9558 1 0 Apr07 ? 00:00:24 nmbd -D
root 9561 9558 0 Apr07 ? 00:00:00 nmbd -D
kill -9 9558
kill -9 9561
Then verify everything is killed, by repeating the ps -ef|grep smb and ps -ef|grep nmb
If anything is still running, kill it off. You are also going to have to remove a file:
rm /var/cache/samba/nmbd.pid Bruce Garlock
bruceg@tiac.net
kill -9 pid, where pid is the process id of the command running ex:
ps -ef|grep smb
root 17242 9547 0 15:25 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
kill -9 17242
ps -ef|grep nmb
[root@linux samba]# ps -ef|grep nmb
root 9558 1 0 Apr07 ? 00:00:24 nmbd -D
root 9561 9558 0 Apr07 ? 00:00:00 nmbd -D
kill -9 9558
kill -9 9561
