[ samba-messaggio.txt 2K ]

Hi everybody.

I ugraded my SAMBA from 1.9.16p4 to 1.9.16p9 and now I have a little
problem:
the Win95 clients don't descend in the service dir and give me the
error:
        The folder '\\SERVER\service\servicedir' does not exist
After, when I click on the OK button of the error dialog box, the same
dialog box re-appears,
and I must click once again.

I use samba 1.9.16p9 with Linux (kern. 1.2.23). I have the following SMB
conf:

[global]
   admin users = alby mr_hyde stefano root
   printing = bsd
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   guest account = pcguest
   allow hosts = 130.251.1.45,130.251.14.
   security = user
   workgroup = INFOMUS
   log file = /usr/local/samba/logs/log.%m
   max log size = 1000

   lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks
   share modes = yes

; The following to preserve case
   default case = lower
   case sensitive = yes
   preserve case = yes
   short preserve case = yes
   mangle case = yes
   mangled names = yes

; Uncomment for Domain Logon Server
;       domain logons = yes
;       wins support = yes
;       wins server = belva
;       logon script = %U.bat
;       default service = netlogon

[belva-root]
   comment = root of Belva server
   valid users = root mr_hyde alby
   path = /
   browsable = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   create mode = 755
   public = no

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
        ; ONLY the home-dirs are visible, not the service itself
   read only = no
   writeable = yes
   create mode = 0755
   hide dot files = no

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /tmp
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700
   min print space = 1000
; At least 1000 to print!

; Uncomment for Domain Logon Server
;[netlogon]
;       path = /etc/netlogon
;       writeable = no
;       guest ok = yes

; you might also want this one
; [tmp]
;   comment = Temporary file space
;   path = /tmp
;   read only = no
;   public = yes

Note: I have the users' home dir in: /hdb2/home/users. When I try a
samba-connection as the user 'mr_hyde', Win95 shows me
a shared service called 'mr_hyde' (built on the fly by the homes
section, I suppose).
When I click on it, Win95 shows the home dir of mr_hyde, but if I try to
click on a sub dir, I get the message
        The folder '\\BELVA\mr_hyde\subdirname' does not exist.

(BELVA is my linux-samba server and it and Win95 clients have IP
130.251.14.xx and 130.251.1.45)

Note 2: every test in DIAGNOSIS.txt work well!
Note 3: if I mount the service from another Linux (with smbfs-0.7, kernel
2.0.26) everything works well, so I have problem only with Win95 clients!

The question is: which is my mistake?

Please, write your answer(s) also to my e-mail address:

Bye,
        thanks in advance,
                                Marco.

 
 
 

1. SAMBA-WIN95 problem: "The folder '\\SERVER\service\servicedir' does not exist.

Hi everybody.

error:

dialog box re-appears,
and I must click once again.

I use samba 1.9.16p4 with Linux (kern. 1.2.23). I have the following SMB
conf for the services those cause the error:

[belva-root]
comment = Belva'r root dir
valid users = root otherslogin
path = /
browsable = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mode = 766
public = no

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browsable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
create mode = 0750
hide dot files = no

[UsrDir]
comment = Users' home dir.
path = /hdb1/home/users/
public = yes
create mode = 0755
writable = no

printable = no

Note: I have the users' home dir in: /hdb2/home/users. When I try a
samba-connection as the user 'mr_hyde', Win95 shows me
a shared service called 'mr_hyde' (built on the fly by the homes
