Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network

[Wesa, Richard (GE Consumer & Industrial)]

Rick,
Thanks for the quick response. I have attached smb.conf but I did not know how to attach
it to the list which you were referring to.
Thank you.
Richard

Then it's running.  The command line method is "ps -ax | grep mbd".  You
should get three or more lines displayed (one is the actual "ps"
command).

The odds are that you have a user issue.  The user name you're trying to
connect to the Samba server as is probably not a Red Hat name.  Many
things can be used to tweak this.

Put a DOS-formatted floppy into the drive on the Linux box, then, as
the root user:

	# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
	# cp /etc/smb/smb.conf /mnt/floppy
	# umount /mnt/floppy

Post the content of that file here on the list.
