There were a few things I noticed along the way: - "restart smbd" works, but "restart nmbd" doesn't. OTOH, "/etc/init.d/smbd restart" works... and "/etc/init.d/nmbd restart" as well. Go figure - apparently, we must remove package "libpam-smbpass", and install "smbfs" and "winbind" - /etc/nsswitch.conf requires adding "wins" to "hosts" - I added the following to a share, with no idea if they're really needed: [share] [...] available = yes public = yes writable = yes Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Better increase the log level (try "log level = 3") and log at /var/log/samba/log.nmbd > BTW, how can I check that Samba does use /etc/samba/smb.conf as its > configuration file? It is.

Go figure A samba init script should take care of restarting both services IMHO, because they're really supposed to go together. Therefore it's not strange that they ported to upstart only the "main" init.d script (the one referring to smbd). That's all IMHO, of course. > > - apparently, we must remove package "libpam-smbpass", and install > "smbfs" and "winbind" AFAIKT, smbfs is needed only if you want to mount samba shares, i.e. for using the linux system as a samba *client*, not server. I'm not 100% sure, though. Regarding winbind, I find it strange that it didn't get installed along with the rest of samba... > > - /etc/nsswitch.conf requires adding "wins" to "hosts" > > - I added the following to a share, with no idea if they're really > needed: > [share] > [...] > available = yes > public = yes > writable = yes > > Thank you. > Don't know about "available" param, but public and writable shouldn't affect visibility of the server in windows neighborhood. -- Marcello Romani -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
