I am new to this group and I am also pretty new to Linux, although I
have been working with Unix for quite sometime, although not as a sys admin.
I am trying to get my Windows XP to be able to access my Samba Drive. I
can see my Linux box but when I click on it I get the following message:
\\Dlinux is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact....
On my windows box I do have zonealarm running, in case that matters, but
I have it set up so that my local network can access my shared
resources. I can ping my Linux box from windows and I have also been
able to ftp to the box without any roblems.
Now to give you some background as to what I have for Linux. I am
running Red Hat 9. Doing a uname -a I get linux 2.4.20-8.
I was originally running Samba version 2.2.7a and I upgraded that to
3.0.14a. But when I updated it I got the following messages:
[root@linux root]# rpm -U samba-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm
warning: samba-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID

Installing stack version of /etc/pam.d/samba...
error: %postun(samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Is the error above ok, or is it something to worry about?
After installing that version I ran smbclient as follows:
smbclient <remote Win XP dir> -U <login>
Using Samba this way, I am able to get access to my shared drive on
Windows XP. But when I try to get access to the Linux shared drive I get
the message I previously wrote about above.
The following is what I have for a config file currently:
==================== Begin smb.conf ===========================
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MSHOME
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Linux
netbios name = dlinux
#============================ Share Definitions ========================
; share name
[david]
; text to list when browsing the share from a client
comment = For testing at this point!!
; absolute path to the disk directory
path = /home/david
; should the share be writeable?
writeable = yes
; user allowed to connect to the share
; the `@' is used to designate a unix group
valid users = @david
; enforce file locking?
locking = yes
; default file creation permission mask
create mode = 0660
; default directory creation permission mask
directory mode = 0770
==================== End smb.conf ===========================
I have been working on this for a while, but can't seem to figure out
what is wrong.
Thanks for any help,
David
