RE: [PLUG] Samba problems


Right so those other details are kind of useful...

Distro:  SuSE 9.1
from ps:
root      7464  0.0  0.5  8744 2704 ?        Ss   Aug10   0:00
/usr/sbin/smbd -D -s /etc/samba/smb.conf

I have tried to connect both from my XP Pro desktop, and OS X iBook.
Both have failed utterly.

I haven't thought to look in the logs *kicking-self*.  I don't have time
now, but thanks for reminding me I'll get to that soon.

Aaron

Do you see samba actually running in ps output?  What distro is this?
Is there anything releveant in /var/log/syslog or
/var/log/samba/log.{s,n}mbd ?  How are you trying to connect?  Any other
relevant info would be great.
