Hello gays,
i’m absolutley beginer with suse. I install suse 15.1, without grafic sistem. I think that is the server mode. I configure samba with help from google. Evryting is ok. Samba working good, i use it for local server. But that what has no happend i that i accses samba server by ip. Like this \192.168.88.88\max . How i can change this. I want accsses by name \max\max
???

Is /bin/hostname installed? Append max’s alias to /etc/hosts:

/etc/hosts

IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.88.88 max.mylocal.domain max

3

as i said, i understan so much.
when i write: /etc/hosts

bash: /etc/hosts: Permission denied

i write like su.

4

Writing to /etc/hosts requires superuser permission.

If I understand you correctly, you’d like to reach the server using a NetBIOS hostname perhaps? If so, you can use nmbd on the server like this…

sudo systemctl enable nmbd.service
sudo systemctl start nmbd.service

These days, most enterprise LANs would typically have local DNS running to fulfil this function.

BTW, if you don’t mind using Avahi for local hostname resolution*,* you should be able to reach the server using the hostname.local naming scheme eg \max.local\myshare

nmbd.service not exist.
i try to set by Yast, but no have one.
how i can download an install.
i’m a beginner please spare me.

How much of Samba do you have installed? You probably need at least the following that I have:

# rpm -qa | sort | egrep 'mb|cifs'

Sorry, nmd is the the daemon (process running in userspace). The name of the systemd service is nmb.service. That should have been

sudo systemctl enable nmb.service
sudo systemctl start nmb.service
10

It is .
If i want to return old address, perhabs i wrote sudo systemctl stop nmb.service.
This i super but now i want to hide samba server.
whatever , tanks for evryone.
