Please post your smb.conf
You might also like to mention which Puppy version you are running and which Samba package you installed

OK, firstly is your libdm problem sorted out?
If you still get that error message, browse to /lib and make sure libdm.so.0 and anything it is linked to have their permissions set to executable. (There is an option to set the permissions when you right click on them)
If they are already set to executable, or if libdm.so.0 is a broken link, delete libdm.so.0, and create it again as a link to libddm.so.0.0.4
(The ln -s command was to make libdm.so.0 as a link to libddm.so.0.0.4, just like making a link by right clicking in ROX, but you got an error because libdm.so.0 already existed and that command won't automatically overwrite it).

i delete libdm.so.0 then copy libdm.so.0.0.4 to libdm.so.0
i type /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
its working. samba start without error

but i can see puppypc in windowsXp. then i dobel click, winXP asking username and passowrd. i fill
username: root
pasword : woofwoof
stil not working.

username: guest
pasword : (blank
stil not working.

Could anyone please tell me on how to download full samba. as I keep having difficulties with the dependencies

disciple · Posted: Fri 04 Jul 2008, 01:59 Post subject:

If the samba in the official petget repository doesn't work (I think it should - at least if there is one in the Puppy 2 or 4 repositories), try http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Network/Samba-3.0.21c.pup
But the dotpup is huge, as it has a lot of unnecessay documentation and stuff, and if you have Puppy 4, you will also need to install the dotpup handler first.

I'm a beginner, very bginner!

I installed samba 3.0.26 and i did set smb.conf into etc/opt/samba/ directory as:

After installing Samba and editing smb.conf, have you either rebooted the computer, or manually started Samba?
You need to. Look in pprocess, or run `top` in a terminal, and see if the smb.d and nmb.d processes are running. If they are, run `/etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart` in a terminal. If they are not, run `/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start` in a terminal.

BTW you would probably want to edit smb.conf more. You probably don't have hdb5 and hdb6 partitions, in which case you can't share them, and you probably don't want to share /mnt/home as "green room", although you may want to share it as something.

I have done as you told me with puppy 4 and puppy 3.1

Samba don't start, it says: permission denied.

My smb.conf is:
