Hi, I am posting this to FreeBSD-Questions in an act of desperation. I have setup and configured SAMBA to run on a FreeBSD workstation (FreeBSD 3.4) on our LAN where I work. I believe I have /usr/local/etc/smb.conf configured correctly because when I run "testparm", I get the message "Loaded services file OK." My workstation running FreeBSD shows up in the right domain on our network but when I try to access it, it presents me with a logon. I've tried every user name and password that I can think of and nothing works. I always get the message, "\\Warner_joe9 is not accessible The account is not authorized to login to this station." I thought in order to access a FreeBSD workstation from WIN NT, the login and password need to be the same as an existing account on the FreeBSD workstation. Also, I don't know if this is important or not but when I do "ps aux | more", I can see nmbd running but never see smbd running. I have the proper netbios entries for smbd and nmbd in my inetd.conf file. Should the smbd daemon be running? How come I don't see it? I've tried starting smbd by issuing the following as root: /usr/local/sbin/smbd and inetd smbd. The only one that shows up when I ps aux | more is inetd smbd but this still doesn't allow me access from a WIN NT workstation. I've read every piece of related documentation I can think of, exp. The Complete FreeBSD, the SAMBA section in Running Linux, the documentation at http://www.samba.org and the man pages and still can't get this to work. Here is what my smb.conf looks like: [global] workgroup = SMS_SLC guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -p%p %j preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes case sensitive = no [homes] comment = /home/(name of account on FreeBSD workstation is here) browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0750 [usr] comment = /home/(again..name of FreeBSD account) browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0750 directory = /home/(name of FreeBSD account) [cdrom] comment = FreeBSD CD-ROM path = /cdrom read only = yes locking = no [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes printable = yes public = no read only = yes create mode = 0700 directory = /tmp This is a shortened version of the smb.conf file that I created with Vi. I still have the orginal file that I copied as smb.old. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I've been struggling with this for 2 weeks now (trying to find the solution on my own) and I'm just spinning my wheels. Thanks.
