Not sure; if this means the 'hosts allow' line I believe it's correct # cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf [global] workgroup = Face2Interface server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 500 ; security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no [test] comment = For testing only, please path = /tmp read only = yes guest ok = yes >most definately not normal behaviour. smbd should be spawing a process >as root ie the master process and then one process per user so if you >cannot see smbd running then I cannot see how you can hope to connect >sucessfully. nmbd is the netbios name daemon so if that is running you >should be able to "see" the computer but without smbd you cannot connect.
