And then an attempt from the 5.0-RELEASE CDROM using "upgrade" caused panics when playing with the old filesystem. So I copied user data to another drive, booted the 5.0 CD, deleted all slices on the ad0 drive and recreated using the defaults. So far the only thing I lost in the process was my working smb.conf file. The network has a Genuine NT4 Server. I'd just as soon ignore it if I may. So I have named my domain "MAINFRAME" and my FreeBSD machine is named AndrAIa (firewall is Frisket, my NT workstation is Enzo, couldn't resist naming the (postscript laser) printer Dot. Get it?) The problem is that finally I have my domain visible in "Network Neighborhood" but attempts to browse its contents, which should list AndrAIa, fail. It used to work on prior installation which was also Samba 2.2.7a but FreeBSD 4.7 and a now lost smb.conf. Can not say at the moment whether or not I installed Samba from binary package on CDROM or built from sources via port. Configured using SWAT. This is my current smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MAINFRAME netbios name = ANDRAIA log level = 3 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 [public] comment = public path = /usr4/public guest ok = Yes [dkelly] comment = dkelly path = /usr/home/dkelly read only = No only user = Yes [homes] valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No The testparam utility passes the above. With log level = 3, the bulk in /var/log/log.{nmbd,smbd} is much greater. Network neighborhood times out without creating any log entries but from NT typing the raw IP address to "Find Computer" produces log entries which do not make much sense to me. Then got the idea to try connecting from MacOS X 10.2.3. Again using raw IP address as the machine is also running NetAtalk and is listed there. And I get farther as the Mac offers both dkelly and public shares. But am not able to get past the authentication. Suspect this is very simple, if only you recognize my problem. Its as if something else on the net is answering as MAINFRAME, but that domain wasn't listed among the other two before I starting to bring this machine back online. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
