I need to drop some video files off of my windows machine and onto my R6 machine. I enabled Fuppes and can see the folders on my LinHES machine but I can't write to them. I tried chainging the ownership to Mythtv. I even enabled password and loged into the folder as root and still I couldn't write to Mythtv.
What am I missing here?

I guess that's where I need the help I thought I configured Samba thorugh one of the settings menu. While poking around the internet looking for an answer I've been changing the smb.conf file.
Before all of that however I noticed that when I do
Code: /etc/rc.d/samba start I get Code: :: Starting Samba Server [FAIL]
I just want to write some files from my xp machine on to my linHES machine. Thanks for your help cecil. Here is my smb.conf file Code: # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = MattsMythTv
# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible # values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want # user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details. security = user
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict # connections to machines which are on your local network. The # following example restricts access to two C class networks and # the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see # the smb.conf man page ; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127. 192.168.0.
load printers = no
# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file ; printcap name = /etc/printcap
; guest account = pcguest
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine # that connects log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb). max log size = 50
# Use password server option only with security = server # The argument list may include: # password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name] # or to auto-locate the domain controller/s # password server = * ; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
# Use the realm option only with security = ads # Specifies the Active Directory realm the host is part of ; realm = MY_REALM
# Backend to store user information in. New installations should # use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards # compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration. ; passdb backend = tdbsam
# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration # on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name # of the machine that is connecting. # Note: Consider carefully the location in the configuration file of # this line. The included file is read at that point. ; include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces # If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them # here. See the man page for details. ; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
# Browser Control Options: # set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master # browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply ; local master = no
# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser # elections. The default value should be reasonable ; os level = 33
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This # allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this # if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job ; domain master = yes
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup # and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election ; preferred master = yes
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for # Windows95 workstations. ; domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or # per user logon script # run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine) ; logon script = %m.bat # run a specific logon batch file per username ; logon script = %U.bat
# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT) # %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username # You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below ; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section: # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server ; wins support = yes
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client # Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both ; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on # behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be # at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO. ; wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names # via DNS nslookups. The default is NO. dns proxy = no
# These scripts are used on a domain controller or stand-alone # machine to add or delete corresponding unix accounts ; add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u ; add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g ; add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u ; delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u ; delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/deluser %u %g ; delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
include = /home/mythtv/templates/user.shares include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.media include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.home ; path = /myth ; valid users = mythtv ; public = yes ; writable = yes ; browseable = yes

Oh also Fuppes was throwing out a huge number of errors so I just uninstalled it.

Is there something else besides Samba that is doing the folder sharing? I stopped Samba and I was still able to logon and see the /myth folder.
I have uninstalled Fuppes completely what else might there be?

So I found out that if you turn off the network share in the LinHES Settings/ Advanced Settings menu then Samba Disappears from the /etc/rc.d/ menu. I turned it off and back on. Then I tried checking the Readonly, then unchecked it, all of which didn't work. The part that I can't figure out is that when you turn off the network share in the Settings Menu you can't see the folders anymore, but when you turn it on you still can't start or restart Samba, I get a [fail] everytime.
What does that mean? how do I fix it so that the folder has user privileges instead of just share?

I'll attempt to duplicate this in the next few days. Please open a ticket on flyspray with the issue.

Ok it's now working I'm not sure If it's related to restarting windows I am going to experiment until I find the answer.

Yes you must at least log out of Windows for changes in Samba to take effect. AND the problem is the READONLY check boxes are backwards. If you check read only then you can write to the folder. If they are unchecked then you can only read.

Here is my smb.conf, in which I have a bunch of differently configured shares (this doesn't even include them all, only important ones):
Code: # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = mythbox server string = LinHES RC6.00.09
security = user hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. # hosts deny = 192.168.1.2 guest account = nobody
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50
local master = yes os level = 33 domain master = yes dns proxy = no
# Without this, samba fails to start? Go figure. printcap name = /etc/printcap
create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775
#============================ Share Definitions ============================== [homes]
comment = Home Directory browseable = yes writable = yes valid users = abc, xyz, router public = no
[video] comment = Movies and Television path = /myth/video browseable = yes public = no writeable = yes valid users = abc, xyz force user = mythtv force group = mythtv
[bkp] comment = Backup path = /myth/bkp browseable = yes public = no writeable = yes valid users = abc, xyz
[tv] comment = Recorded Shows path = /myth/pretty browseable = yes public = no writeable = no valid users = abc, xyz
[logs] comment = Logfiles path = /var/log browseable = yes valid users = abc public = no writeable = no
[tmp] comment = Temporary Stuff path = /myth/tmp/work browseable = yes valid users = abc public = no writeable = yes
[shared] comment = Shared fils path = /myth/shared browseable = yes public = no writeable = yes valid users = abc, xyz create mask = 660 directory mask = 770 force create mode = 660 force directory mode = 770 force group = mythbox Couples things: I think the correct way to start services is by using the 'sv' command, e.g., Code: # sv start smbd; sv start nmbd
'smbd' and 'nmbd' are the two services for Samba. I don't get errors when I use the 'sv' command. I used to use the /etc/rc.d method in the past, and I think I would get errors, but it would still work.
Another issue is that you need to create separate Samba users using the 'smbpasswd' command. If you haven't done this, don't expect any of your sharing settings to work.

Thank you Langelgjm
I will be experimenting with replacing my smb.conf file. Just one question the Code: valid users = abc, xyz
thing are abc and xyz place holders or are those the actual entries?
Thanks

Yes, they are placeholders in this case. I scrubbed the actual users names from the file.
