Hi Robie, Yes, there is a "valid users = %S" line present in the smb.conf file. When I comment it out, smbclient -L works as expected.
What i did: 1) Comment out "valid users = %S", see the diff: > root@ubuntu:/etc/samba# diff -u ~/smb.conf.old smb.conf > --- /root/smb.conf.old 2014-04-01 18:19:16.880909594 +0200 > +++ smb.conf 2014-04-01 18:19:40.065312095 +0200 > @@ -211,7 +211,7 @@ > # The following parameter makes sure that only "username" can connect > # to \\server\username > # This might need tweaking when using external authentication schemes > - valid users = %S > +; valid users = %S > > # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain > Logons > # (you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.) 2) Restart samba: > root@ubuntu:/etc/samba# service samba restart 3) Test the connectivity: > root@ubuntu:/etc/samba# smbclient -L \\localhost -U ubuntu > Enter ubuntu's password: > Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.3-Ubuntu] > > Sharename Type Comment > --------- ---- ------- > IPC$ IPC IPC Service (ubuntu server (Samba, Ubuntu)) > print$ Disk Printer Drivers > Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.3-Ubuntu] > > Server Comment > --------- ------- > UBUNTU ubuntu server (Samba, Ubuntu) > > Workgroup Master > --------- ------- > WORKGROUP UBUNTU There are a number of other options which IMHO are placed under [homes] but are commented in: Here the full, unchanged default smb.conf file (read only, create mask, directory mask, valid users): ---------------------------- c u t ---------------------------- #======================= Share Definitions ======================= # Un-comment the following (and tweak the other settings below to suit) # to enable the default home directory shares.

In this configuration, everything below "[homes]" is commented out.
