OK, I'm not sure what change did it, but I can connect to *SOME* of my shares. I have one more that I can't seem to connect to. The definition in smb.conf is
[windows] case sensitive = no msdfs proxy = no read only = no comment = windows directory path = /windows
This is the vfat partition holding my windows setup. The fstab entry makes the partition readable / writable by anyone. When I try to attach this partition, I get a "The Network Name Cannot be found."
Obviously, the windows box knows about the name as it displays it for me to select - and the setup looks right to me. What am I missing?
possibly selinux block - is selinux active?
No. I'd read enough on the list not to trust it, so I disabled it during install.
is the share visible if you try from the linux client...
smbclient -L NETBIOS_NAME
Yes, I can see it in that display - remember that it's visible on the windows machine, too ... I just can't attach it.
does executing...
testparm -s
reveal any errors?
No errors.
...at least I haven't done anything *OBVIOUS* <g> Part of me hates it when that happens - another part likes it cause it leads to a quick solution.
one would think that the error should be logged in /var/log/messages then.
From a command line on Linux (without Windows or samba), can you
access /windows as root? as a user? do files show up when you do things like 'ls' or 'ls -l' ?
does it show up as mounted?
command to show active mounts....
'mount'
From the linux machine, I can do anything I want with /windows as user
or root. Read - write, browse, whatever. I wasn't surprised to see it listed when I ran mount - it's there.
