          severin, 
 
thanks for the info. I solved my samba connection problem about a week ago with stryder's help (using his smb.conf file), but didn't post because I couldn't figure out which definition change fixed it. Your link suggests that removing, 
Zitat: 
msdfs proxy = no
 
 fixes it. To test this, I added it to a currently working share and that made the share fail. Removing it allowed the share to work again! So thank you very much; it looks like your suggestion isolates the problem.
 
 
To anyone else having a samba problem, please learn from my mistakes. This problem took a long time to resolve, because I used the "shotgun" approach; doing too many things at once. I ended up with a very complicated smb.conf file that was then impossible to troubleshoot. If "testparm" gives you errors, fix those first. If not, try the gui in kde control center. If that doesn't work, check the info on http://kanotix.com/FAQ-myfaq-yes-id_cat-141.html, there is a very simple smb.conf example there. Here is my working smb.conf:
 
Zitat: 
 
[global]
 
workgroup = mshome
 
encrypt passwords = true
 
log level = 1
 
max log size = 1000
 
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
 
guest ok = no
 
wins support = no
 
 
[rp]
 
comment = rp's home
 
path = /home/rp/
 
read only = no
 
 
[HDB5]
 
comment = Common Data Partition
 
path = /media/hdb5
 
read only = no
 
 
[Music]
 
comment = Common Music Partition
 
path = /media/hdb5/music
 
read only = no
 
 
 
 
As you can see this is very simple as well.
 
Thanks,
 
Ron |
