I have a remote VPS that I would like to setup samba on and only allow my IP access to it. I currently have in my smb.conf:
[global]
netbios name = apollo
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
printing = bsd
log level = 3
log file = /var/log/samba/log/%m
debug timestamp = yes
max log size = 100
[hosting]
path = /hosting/
comment = Hosting Folder
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest account = yes
valid users = nick
I have the ports (137,138,139,445) open in iptables (they're open to everyone right now while I debug) and I see nothing in the syslog about iptables blocking my requests.
When I try to open a file browser to my address \\ipaddress, it hangs for a good thirty seconds, and then opens a log in box. I enter my user name and password for the server, hit okay. It then opens the same box, I enter my credentials again and hit enter. Windows then tells me it could not connect. My user account is added to Samba already.
Anybody have any suggestions what I can do to get this working?
