samba woes

[Eric1024]

When I try to connect to my newly configured (read: poorly configured) samba server, I get the error NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS.

 

Here's my smb.conf file:

 

[global]

    netbios name = PIKACHU

    workgroup = NOT_A_WORKGROUP

    security = domain

    encrypt passwords = yes

    smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

 

[fs1]

    comment = Master file share of zpool

    path = /pool

    writeable = yes

    create mask = 0770

    force create mode = 0770

    locking = yes

    browseable = no

    valid users = zee

 

 

I'm not sure what other information I can give to help, but the server is running Linux Mint 15, the client that I'm trying to connect with is also running Mint 15, the client is a virtual machine, the host is running windows 7, and I'm able to connect to this samba share via the host.

This might not help but I know of a quick setup video with Samba servers maybe you could look over it and see if you missed something.

If I knew more about Samba I'd give you a better answer.

I've only ever used samba as a file share, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to configure a domain controller? I ask because you have security=domain when normally in a LAN it's security=user

 

And in my config since all I'm doing is setting shares, here is what my typical share config looks like:

 

[Videos]

        comment = Media

        path = /mnt/Videos

        writeable = yes

       browseable = yes

        valid users = eric

 

Everything but my shares are the default config set up by debian.

 

But like I said, maybe you're setting up more advanced samba network than I am...

Nope, I'm not trying to do anything complicated, I just have no idea what I'm doing... I'll see if that works, hang on

I changed security = domain to security = user and now I'm getting the error "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"
