At home I have a 2003 domain. I wanted a NAS to store files on the network but decided with the amount of spare drives I have it would be better to juts build a network server...

So now I have a Ubuntu system that I want to access from my PC's.

Here is the information that I think is important. If you need more info please ask

1) The user accounts on the Linux system use the same names and passwords and the domain

2) uname -a shows
Linux dumpster 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

3) Current mount info
emanuel@dumpster:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/storage-data on /var/shared type reiserfs (rw)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sdd1 on /media/disk type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
emanuel@dumpster:~$


4) The location of the share on the Ubuntu system in /var/shared

emanuel@dumpster:/var/shared$ ls -la
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 2008-05-11 20:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 2008-05-24 13:50 ..

Ok now for my smb.conf file which I'm sure has errors because I have no clue what I'm doing

#
Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.
#

# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both

# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.

# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses
; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

#### Networking ####

# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0

# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself. However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
; bind interfaces only = true



#### Debugging/Accounting ####

# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects

# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).

# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
; syslog only = no

# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace


####### Authentication #######

# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
security = user

# You may wish to use password encryption. See the section on
# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.

# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.


guest account = nobody

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.

# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).

# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.

# This option controls how nsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
# to anonymous connections

########## Domains ###########

# must have this setting enabled. If you are the BDC you must
# change the 'domain master' setting to no
#

# It specifies the location of the user's profile directory

# The following required a [profiles] share to be setup on the
# samba server (see below)
; logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
# Another common choice is storing the profile in the user's home directory
; logon path = \\%N\%U\profile

# It specifies the location of a user's home directory (from the client
# point of view)

# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set
# It specifies the script to run during logon. The script must be stored
# in the [netlogon] share
# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention
; logon script = logon.cmd

# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR
# RPC pipe. The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix
# password; please adapt to your needs
; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u

One GOTCHA I see:

usershare allow guests = yesLater, the default setting overrides it:
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account

Check a Windows computer on your network to see what workgroup it's connected to. You'll most likely need to use a combination of both howto's because the howto I linked (although quite good) does not include directions for hosting across a Windows active domain.

I don't know if I should # out the security = user or security = share I'd start by commenting out the "security = user". It's very insecure, so you may want to try it the other way later.

I'm a little late on this one, but I hope this helps. I believe that testparam will test for correct parameters, but not as to whether they are appropriate.


till can't get to it from the XP system. I can get to it from a 2003 server logged in as Administrator

Make sure that you have added yourself to the smbusers database. it has to be exactly like your XP login.

Below is a copy (modified slightly) of my smb.conf file. It works for me in a workgroup environment. If you have added the sever to a domain you will need "winbind" to administer the samba to user account mapping.
