I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure at least one of y'all can handle this one.
I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a legitimate network destination.
Here's my samba config file:
[root@mhullrichter shared]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[public]
comment = Data
path = /home/mark
force user = mark
force group = users
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
It passes testparm, the smb daemons are up and running:
[root@mhullrichter shared]# psg smbd
root 2751 1 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
root 2752 2751 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running - dunno why, the startup showed [ OK ].
But in the Windows, it can see my machine but can't connect to it - what am I missing?
