SAMBA authorization

I must be doing something really wrong, or just missed something obvious. I have installed the 3.5.6 sfs in lucid 5.25 and edited the smb.conf to share my selected directory. If I open lamesmbexplorer I can see the directory shared, but I can't open it. It complains about the wrong password. Is there a password? Do I have to set it up? Info on that seems to be missing in this thread.

Thanks in advance for some help.

You're not doing anything wrong.

BUT, SAMBA, like Windows, requires authorization.

Before going further,there is this document. and also this thread.2 Yes/No Questions
  • Did you use the smb.conf it offers as a start or guideline?
  • And, if so, did you do the other items suggested?
The above 2 questions is my attempt to understand where you are.

Finally, if you did the items in that document, type this and let us know what you see:

Code: Select all

smbclient -L localhost
Hope this helps

gcmartin, in your tutorial, you say the default puppy username is root, and password is woofwoof. Tried those, doesn't work.

When typing smbclient -L localhost, I get asked for a password, I try woofwoof i get NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

lost

and now, two minutes later, I got it. There is no user set up, nor password apparently. At the bottom of your tutorial, gcmartin, it mentions this

# smbpasswd -L -a root

That does the trick :)

Very confused by these samba sfs

#45 Post by paulh177 »

I'm no beginner with Puppy, but I'm really thrown by these samba sfs files of shinobar's.

My expectation with a sfs is that I download it, tell puppy to load it on startup and that the contents are merged seamlessly with the existing Puppy filesystem, giving me unproblematic access to whatever I've loaded - whether its an application like OpenOffice or the devx development environment.

I've tried both the 3.5.8 and 4.0.9 sfs (separately of course), and puppy sees them and mounts them, but all I seem to end up with is a mess of directories mounted at /initrd/pup_ro6

None of the binaries are in my paths, and it seems I have to do a lot of manual work in copying and rejigging paths to try and make it work.

Surely sfs files should just work "out of the box"?

Running on a frugal puppy 561, only 3 sfs files being loaded at startup (devx, kernel headers and whatever samba i'm trying)

I must be missing something here - can someone set me straight please?

Paul, you'd probably fare better with rcrsn51's pkg.

No.
First of all, Shinobar's samba sfs is not compatible with micko's samba. Shinobar's does not work on some recent Puppy's shipped with micko's samba,
Second: After installing shinobar's samba sfs, look up the directory /etc/samba. Copy smb.conf.sample to smb.conf and edit it as you need.
Third: Run samba.sh(Samba Simple Management).

That's even more confusing. What's micko's samba got to do with my problem?

SFS instllations should "just work". that's part of their raison d'etre

I gave up trying and just installed SambaTNG, and it just worked immediately with no problems

no further help required
