help for samba.conf (2)

[Dan Pomohaci <dan@usab.ro>]

I have a Linux server (Debian - slink) which must share files with a
bunch of Windows boxes. I've installed Samba on Linux and have made all the
modifications (I think) on Windows clients. Now they can see the Linux
server but they are not permited to access it. Not even to see the directories
shared by Linux server.

On Windows side I've made 192.168.1.1 (Linux IP) WINS and DNS server
and everything seems OK (par example they can use Netscape to access
Internet through the Linux gateway.)

This is my smb.conf file:

===File ~/smb.conf==========================================
;
; /etc/smb.conf
;

[global]
   printing = bsd
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   guest account = nobody
   invalid users = root
   interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24
   debug level = 3
;   hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

;   security = user
   security = share

   workgroup = CUB

   server string = %h server (Samba %v)

; This socket options really speed up Samba under Linux, according to my
;	own tests.
   socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096

   encrypt passwords = yes

   wins support = yes

;   os level = 0
   domain master = yes
   local master = yes
   preferred master = yes

; What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
;	to IP addresses
   name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

; This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
   dns proxy = yes

; Name mangling options

   preserve case = yes
   short preserve case = yes

; This boolean parameter controlls whether Samba attempts to sync. the Unix
;	password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
;	/etc/smbpasswd file is changed.
   unix password sync = false

; For Unix password sync. to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
;	parameters must be set (thanks to Culus for pointing this out):
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Password\schanged.* .

   max log size = 1000

[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = yes
   public = yes

[arhive]
   comment = Arhive
   path = /home/public/arhive
   read only = yes
   public = yes

[kituri]
   comment = Public Stuff
   path = /home/public/kituri
   public = yes
   writable = no
   printable = no
   write list = @staff

[cdrom]
   comment = Samba server's CD-ROM
   writable = no
   locking = no
   path = /cdrom
   public = yes
   root preexec = /bin/mount /cdrom
   root postexec = /bin/umount /cdrom
