RE: Samba



#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.
#
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
   workgroup = LeksHome
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = %h server
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
;   wins support = no
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z
# If we receive WINS server info from DHCP, override the options above.
   include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
   dns proxy = no
# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses
;   name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
#### Networking ####
# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
;   interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
;   bind interfaces _only_ = true
 
#### Debugging/Accounting ####
# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
   max log size = 1000
# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
;   syslog _only_ = no
# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything

####### Authentication #######
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account

# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.

# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention

# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR
# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix
# password; please adapt to your needs
; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u
########## Printing ##########

# printcap file
;   printing = bsd

Logfile is actually missing.  I just looked for it.  Unless it's hidden or soemthing, which makes no sense at all.
 
If there were errors, there would be a log file, correct?  And since there is no log file, we can assume there are no errors.
 
This is the configuration file.  I copied it TO my Windows PC, and I can recover it FROM the Windows PC.  This means that the Windows PC and the Linux machine can communicate.  However, I can not log on to the Linux machine from the Windows PC.
 
I have repeatedly indicated this is the problem, and there is as much detail as I am aware of that's going on.
 
Okay, granted, I don't know C, and from the arrogance of most C programmers I've met, I don't think I want to learn it.  I mean, one shining example of your arrogance is that you guys keep making great defragglers, but forget one basic feature.  It's called "defragmenting large files."  You see, you can't defrag a large file without having a large contiguous block of space free for it.  But to get that, you have to, supposedly, fragment all other files.
 
Oddly, tweny years ago, Norton SpeeDisk didn't do this.  But today, nobody can seem to figger out how it did it.
 
So here you have it.  There are NO errors from Samba.  Samba sez everything is hunky dory.  Here is configuration file being used.  I've tried tweaking it, according to everything I can find.  I don't have much understanding of what's going on, what with all your tech talk in the how-tos without any real explaination of anything.
 
For cripes sake!  I think I ought to make you all get some sleazies and slinkies and you need to get some dripping and waxing and press your asses against the wall you're so arrogant, sometimes!
 
And believe me, there was a time when I understood GCOS MOD 6 pretty darned good.  Unfortunately, even if I had a complete understanding of GCOS MOD 6, it wouldn't do me any good today, or any other day for that matter.  Any more than knowing how to clean reel-to-reel tapes in preparation for data backups does me any good!
 
One last thing:  There is no manual page for smb.config.
 
You need to create a space hog file in your root directory called "-rf."  Then unlink it.
