Hi
All of a sudden this tool starts is troubles.
This is what happens. On the file server open the tool and select
preferences and then security.
What is that tool you are using?
If you set the option to "user" click OK then add a user
and click OK.
Hopefully that "clicking" creates the Samba user _and_ activates him.
And hopefully you know that the Samba user must exist as a system user
too.
Now you go to the workstation and browse the network. No server to
be
found? OK so I type in smb:///chadlin and press enter. It comes up but
keep asking for the username and password over and over again.
Then I finally get to see all the files and guess what it seems to be
working.
I then try to copy and paste file from the server to the home dir on the
wkstation but it asks for the username twice and the does nothing.
I tried to reboot the server (foolish I know) but still the prob
persists. Is there something that is forcing the share made on samba.
I have looked through the smb.conf file but cant find where to set the
security.
If it is not there the "tool" did delete the original smb.conf.
# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
security = user
can anyone help me please
Please read the Samba documentation. It contains a lot of needed and
helpful information.
