I'm following https://www.linuxbabe.com/redhat/set-up-samba-server-on-centos-8-rhel-8-for-... to set up Samba 4.12.3-12 on my Storinator fileserver running CentOS 8.3. I am trying to share out /tank/Windows/ as a Samba share:
# ls -al /tank total 61 drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 7 Dec 26 10:43 Backups drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 6 Dec 4 22:47 Repos drwxrwxrwx. 2 doc doc 4 Dec 28 14:01 VMs drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 2 Jan 17 17:04 Windows
My /etc/samba/smb.conf file is set up as follows:
# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
# Global parameters [global] printcap name = cups security = USER idmap config * : backend = tdb cups options = raw hosts allow = 192.168.0
...
[public] comment = public share, no need to enter username and password guest ok = Yes path = /tank/Windows read only = No
When I try to map network drive from my Windows 10 PC using the graphical File Explorer, it asks me for my username and password. It doesn't accept my password. When I try to map it at the CMD cli, I get:
C:> net use S: \192.168.1.20\public\ System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Could this be a network browsing problem in Samba? What have I missed?
