SuSE and Samba


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I'm trying to share files between 2 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, and 1 SuSE file server. I followed the online tutorial at www.tweakhound.com and I enabled all the necessary service for filesharing between the 4 machines. However, I created a shared folder in my SuSE home directory and enabled all users to have read and write access, but I can't access the folder from any of my Windows machines, even though they all see the folder.

Also, is there a way to mount FAT/NTFS partitions that I had used for storage before I deleted the Windows C partition?

Thanks.

Two ways to go around it - change the security to share or create a user with smbpasswd.

For example:

smbpasswd -a meow

Then you can connect to the server with the user meow, you can also change it to your windows login as it'll use it automatically.

The shared folder that I originally created in the home folder cannot be accessed, but the test folder I created in Yast -> Samba Server that had access to the entire home folder, can actually connect and I can access the original shared folder. Funny, huh? :p

I used the smbpasswd command, and everything worked.

Thanks so much! :)
