Re: Samba share from windows

Thanks for the answer.

Here is the smb.conf ->

[global]

workgroup=MSHOME

security=shared

[dtp]

path=/home/serveradmin/_backupz/_dtp

read _only_=no

writable=yes

browsable=yes

comment= SMB share

security=user

guest ok=no

On windows machines when I browse the network it lists all the PC-s available, but when I click this machine with Debian, It doesn't show me its shared folders - it shows me an error message with access denied and contact the network administrator...

So I couldn't get the login screen yet on this machine.

Why?

I've managed to have Samba working for Windows clients and I think there could be several reasons. In no particular order, some might be:

- Security: Share or User?
- Domain Master: Auto or No?
- Valid users: which users are valid?
- Guest ok: Yes or No?

Other Debian machines may be working ok especially if all the machines have identical sets of usernames but in my experience that is harder to arrange for a Windows machine. (You don't mention using any single-sign-on system of any kind).

Samba will log attempts by every machine; what does Samba's log for the Windows machine access attempt say?

Posting a few of the more-relevant settings from /etc/samba/conf might reveal other possible sources for problems. It's a long file, though, in its default state.

But check the logs first, and post why Samba is denying the access.

regards, Ron
