I have a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 Server acting as a Samba server to share my home directory. Everything works fine on my Windows 7 machine, but on my Fedora 16 laptop, if I use Nautilus to try to access
the share using smb://192.168.0.8/nathan in
the location bar, it just has
the loading cursor and does nothing. It never shows any errors, nothing. Using smbclient works just fine, but I'd like to get it working in Nautilus.
I know that there can be problems with SELinux and Samba, so I created a file called booleans.local that contains samba_enable_home_dirs=1.
My smb.conf file looks like this:
# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system,
the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<
[email protected]> for
# sending
the correct chat script for
the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of
the program listed in
# 'passwd program'.
The default is 'no'.
pam password change = yes
# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
# to
anonymous connections

########## Domains ###########
# Is this machine able to authenticate users. Both PDC and BDC
# must have this setting enabled. If you are
the BDC you must
# change
the 'domain master' setting to no

; domain logons = yes
#
#
The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set
# It specifies

#
The following required a [profiles] share to be setup on
the
# samba server (see below)
; logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
# Another common choice is storing
the profile in
the user's home directory
# (this is Samba's default)
# logon path = \\%N\%U\profile
#
The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

#
The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set
# It specifies
the script to run during logon.
The script must be stored

; logon script = logon.cmd
# This allows Unix users to be created on

# password; please adapt to your needs
; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u
# This allows machine accounts to be created on
the domain controller via

The following assumes a "machines" group exists on
the system
; add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u
# This allows Unix groups to be created on
the domain controller via
the SAMR
# RPC pipe.
