Re: [PLUG] Samba question

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

Make sure Apache (httdp) is running.  Run /usr/bin/setup,  go to 
Services, and check to see if httpd, smb, and swat are enabled.

Also, if you used the default settings during install, you will have an 
iptables firewall running which might block calls to Samba.  Less likely 
if you're on localhost talking to localhost.  Use some basic commands to 
make sure you can connect to the Samba server from localhost.

smbclient -L //localhost

smbclient //localhost/homes

Don't forget to add a user.  smbpasswd -a username
