strange samba problem

[johnnyv]

Well i upgraded my works server from 8.1 to 9.0

 

setup samba but it is behaving strangely.

clients are able to log on to the server and do the normal file stuff but there "network neighborhoods" aren't working.

 

Win 98 clients:

Network Neighborhood only shows the "entire network" button , if clicked get error msg

 

"Unable to browse the network

The network is not accessible"

 

Win Me clients:

My Network Places shows all the shares but only the samba server one works

If another computer is clicked get this

"Namec is not accessible there are currently no login servers availible to service your request"

if i click on "entire network" i get

"windows unable to gain access to the network"

 

my smb.conf

Oh yes the server has only one interface eth0 ip 192.168.0.1

the server does not have a fire wall, i have a seperate firewall.

 

i had tried

name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast hosts

my lmhosts file is the same as my previous setup so it shouldn't be a problem.

 

this is the default samba for 9.0 2.2.6 pre2

 

testparm finds no probs

 

Oh and all win clients are set to use wins server 192.168.0.1 and DNS 192.168.0.2(on the firewall box).

 

any ideas?

[johnnyv]

I have fixed it.

 

It seems that the samba map users file was not working?

 

i had nobody = pcguest, smbuser, etc

 

and in smb password file

 

i had a user nobody with no password

 

i change my smb.conf

changing "guest account = pcguest" to "guest account = nobody" fixed this and the network browse lists worked

 

funny thing is in my mandrake 8.1 i had "guest account = pcguest" and had pcguest mapped to unix and samba user nobody and it worked fine!

 

Go figure? :?
