Hopefully this is the correct list, if not I appologize... I'v just installed FreeBSD 3.4 from my Walnut Creek subscription CDs. I'm trying to get Samba working. I selected it from the ports collection, and it seemed to install. I'm having trouble getting it to work. I put the Samba specific question at the bottom incase there are any Samba experts lurking here. ***The FreeBSD specific questions are: I installed the Samba Port, and the directories are a bit different from the Samba Documentation, I can't find smbsh, and at least one of the commands in the default smb.conf file (domain controller =) causes unrecognized parameter errors if un-commented. Are the example/default smb.conf files distributed as part of Samba, or just something thrown in by the person who configured the FreeBSD Samba Port? Does smbsh even work with FreeBSD? How can I get shares working in the other direction for my FreeBSD machine? I searched freebsd.org for smb, and saw a comment that somebody was taking over the smbfs project (Sept 99?). Any idea what the status is? I need Windoz connectivity since that is the bulk of the network. I'd hate to have to switch to Linux at this point to talk to Windows. Is there documentation on the Port to tell how it is different from the standard distribution? ***The Samba specific question is below: I'm trying to setup a samba server on my network. My network is not quite as simple as examples in documentation, because it has an NT server running as a PDC. I'm following the troubleshooting steps in book "teach yourself samba in 24 hrs" chapter 11 trouble shooting. I get to "step 7: Connecting to a share locally" where I enter the following command "smbclient '\\SAMBA01\tmp' -U <my_user_name>" (where <my_user_name> is replaced with my actual user name>. I get the following error return: (the ###s in ip addresses are actually the correct ip addresses) added interface ip=###.###.###.132 bcast=###.###.###.### nmask=###.###.###.### Got a positive name query response from ###.###.###.132 (###.###.###.132) session request to SAMBA01 failed (Not listening for calling name) Got a positive name query response from ###.###.###.132 (###.###.###.132) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name) I already searched the archive, and yes there is a "hosts allow =" line with "127." in it for the loop back. I even tried putting the machine's whole ip in, but got the same error. Is this windows domain / PDC problem, or something internal to the samba server? I get also get "Not listening" errors in the log if I try to browse it from Win98/WinNT workstations, which are also listed on the "hosts allow" line. Wins is disabled on all my machines.
