Problems with samba server - Page 2

Ok now I get the samba server option. But

Quote:

Back on the desktop, Right click the "GDH" folder you created and choose "Sharing Options".

There's no "Sharing options" option...

Do I have to touch anything else in the Samba server configuration

Here's a sure fire (I hope) way of achieving it:
Put this stanza in the file smb.conf, located at /etc/samba/smb.conf. You can open the file with this command in a terminal, and then edit it:

Code:

gnomesu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

The stanza goes at the bottom:

Quote:

[GDH]
path = /home/YourUserName/Desktop/GDH
read only = no
guest ok = yes

then run this command to make it accessible to guests:

Code:

sudo chmod 777  /home/YourUserName/Desktop/GDH

Check in the Yast RunLevel editor that smb and nmb are switched on.

That achieves this:

Quote:

* Click the "Computer" menu in the bottom left, choose Control Center.
* Choose "YaST" at the bottom, the password is "mono".
* Choose "Network Services", then "Samba Server".
* Check "Allow Users to Share Their Directories" on the "Shares" tab.
* Choose "Finish".
* Back on the desktop, Right click the "NClass" folder you created and choose "Sharing Options".
* Check "Share this folder" and "Allow other people to write to this folder".
* Click "Modify Share".

PS: Replace YourUserName with your username

I think it didn't work!

I do this:

Quote:

Now go back to Windows, and access your new share by typing "\\mono\nclass" into the Run dialog. Copy your NClass project to the Mono image share.

But it says Windows cannot acces \\mono\GDH

I think I did everything you told me.

Please post here the returns ypou get from these two commands:

Code:

testparm

Quote:

cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | egrep "workg|WORKG"

They will show your setup more closely

You should edit the file smb.conf and put this stanza in the place of the current [global] stanza:

Code:

[global]
       workgroup = MONO
       netbios name = mono
       name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
       server string = ""
       printing = cups
       printcap name = cups
       printcap cache time = 750
       cups options = raw
       use client driver = yes
       map to guest = Bad User
       local master = yes
       os level = 33
       usershare allow guests = Yes
       usershare max shares = 100
       usershare owner only = False

The rest of the smb.conf file is OK for now.

When finished, reboot Suse, pause, reboot windows, pause, reboot Suse, pause, reboot windows. That forces them to start talking.
