Hello,
I am trying to learn how to use Samba. I first just want to get it to work, then I'll make it better. I am not concerned about security since everything is on a private network. I am following the material in "CentOS 6 Linux Server Cookbook" by Jonathan Hobson. I am using two virtual computers with Virtual Box running on Fedora 19. Both virtual computers have bridged networking. One virtual computer is Win7, the other is CentOS 6.4. They are both up to date. There is only one user, "admin", on the CentOS virtual computer.
The Win7 computer can successfully ping the CentOS computer.
My Win7 computer can not see the share on the Samba server.
The command "# testparm" shows no errors.
The command below gives the following error:
[admin@CentOS ~]$ smbclient //CentOS/admin Enter admin's password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.9-151.el6_4.1] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
My smb.conf file, below, is taken from the book I am using.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Joe Hesse

Hello Joseph,
Is the samba service runing?
$ service smb start $ service nmb start
You will also need to configure the firewall for the following ports, 137, 138, 139 and 445.

Both services are running. I checked with "service smb status" and "service nmb status" Also checked with chkconfig --list The ports are open. I checked with "system-config-firewall" and the ports for Samba and Samba Client are open.

Did you create the a samba account "admin", to test you can do the following $ smbclient -L localhost -U "sambausername"
You will also need to check the SELinux label for the directory that you are sharing.

I used "smbpasswd "to assign a Samba password to user "admin". My Win7 virtual machine still couldn't see the share. It is my impression that the smb.conf file in the book I am using allows passwordless access to the shares.
Also, if it helps, here is some more output.

Passwordless? I don't think so. Are you using 'connect as different user' when you try to map the share? If you aren't authenticating as the 'admin' user you won't even see the home share for that user. If you are logged in as admin on the windows box in the same workgroup it might just happen to work without re authenticating.

<snip> Are you able to authenticate to the samba server from the Windows 7 machine?

What is the out put from smbclient -L localhost -U admin?
I saw that you have the home directory enabled, by default SELinux does not permit access to the home directory, unless you enable the boolean
$ sudo setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on
When you try to access the samba share from the windows 7 machine, what is happening? Are you being prompt for the credentials?
If you do not have a backup of the smb.conf file, I have placed a copy from a clean install [0]

On some Windows 7 systems (not all in my experience), you'll need to adjust the LAN Manager authentication level. To do this, 1. Launch *gpedit.msc* 2. Then under *Computer Management* drill down to *Windows Settings*->*Security Settings*->*Local Policies*->*Security Options* 3. On the right hand side, scroll down to *Network security: LAN Manager authentication level* and double-click it 4. In the drop down, select *Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated*
I'm not sure sure what exactly causes some *just-built* Windows 7 PC's to require this setting. For instance, on the network I manage, I'd say that 30% of just-built Windows 7 PC's require this settings while others function just fine when it is left as *Not Defined*!
Hope that helps you!
