I'm trying to use a simplified version of the online manual that you can view at: http://members.rogers.com/freeballer/Downloads/samba-howto.pdf
My Lan Being: Downstairs (Samba/Linux Machine) 192.168.1.101 Laptop 192.168.1.100 Wacko 192.168.1.102 Everything was going good so far until this point [root@Downstairs root]# killall -HUP inetd inetd: no process killed [root@Downstairs root]# kate /etc/smb.conf *** REDIRECTED: lan://localhost/ [root@Downstairs root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED] [root@Downstairs root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Starting SMB services: [ OK ] [root@Downstairs root]# smbclient -L localhost added interface ip=192.168.1.101 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=172.16.187.1 bcast=172.16.187.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=172.16.170.1 bcast=172.16.170.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=172.16.171.1 bcast=172.16.171.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused) Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) Connection to localhost failed [root@Downstairs root]# I created the host, lmhost, services and inetd file entries and all that EXCEPT FOR tcp wrappers, I did not create entries in the /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files. The manual says that a single entry "ALL" should be in the deny file and allow file sould have: "swat : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1" But is that all I need! I'm not sure weather or not this is my problem but I just couldn't find any simple explanation on the "tcp wrappers"!!! I opened the /etc/smb.conf file and found no entries at all in it.... But I went to one of the windows PCs and found a new workgroup (MyGroup) but I couldn't access it. Which my LAN is using the "Freeballer" workgroup! Please help me out, I know kind of stupid questions but this is my first time installing/configuration samba and the other online manuals aren't for newbies (at least the ones I found, in my opinion)... Hey at least i'm trying huh?! (trying to learn something besides windows) If you give me a template/example of what the smb config file looks like and a simple explanation would be great or whatever kind of help you can give me. Any at all!
