Arch Linux

I tried to connect from a windows client, doesn`t work either...

Is there anything useful in the samba server logfiles?
Can you connect from a linux box and/or from the server itself?
Any possibilities to make your OS X more verbose, or were there any helpful messages from the Windows client?

What logfile would be helpful?
What exactly would I have to do to test if I can connect from the server itself? I´m on an lxde desktop. Never did that.
The OS X console output says:

26.08.11 19:44:12,000 kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
26.08.11 19:44:15,543 NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed, syserr = Input/output error
26.08.11 19:44:15,543 NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to 192.168.1.205/mfs_arch, syserr = Input/output error

Hope that helps.

Have to leave now. If you need anything else, just let me know. Will get back to you tomorrow morning ;)

Thanks

i have signed off 3.6.0-3 but now 3.6.0-4 is busted.

also i noticed that smbclient returns some errors, they are in 3.6.0-3 as well

smbclient -L localhost
Enter ioni's password:
Failed to load upcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules
Failed to load lowcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules
Failed to load upcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules
Failed to load lowcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules

samba works again with 3.6.0-5

new test with 3.6.0-5:
no, it doesn`t work, neither connecting from mac nor from win7! Old error messages persisting unchanged, tested on virtualbox and real machine!

additionally it shows a new problem for the client when connecting from localhost, so the connection can not be tested from linux:
smbclient --user=tom -L localhost
smbclient: error while loading shared libraries: libsmb/libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is some bad symlinking in /usr/lib/libsmb:
libsmbclient.so -> /usr/lib/libsmb/libsmbclient.so.0
libsmbclient.so.0 -> libsmbclient.so.0

The symlinks should be fixed in -6

doing a ls /var I've noticed log.nmbd, log.smbd and they seems in the wrong place.
also `rc.d start samba` spawns these files in /var (I'm unsure if they should go there or not): account_policy.tdb group_mapping.tdb registry.tdb share_info.tdb

i have copies of *.tdb files in /var/lib/samba/

created by smbd:
/var/account_policy.tdb
/var/group_mapping.tdb
/var/log.smbd
/var/registry.tdb
/var/share_info.tdb
by nmbd:
/var/log.nmbd
by smbd or nmbd:
/var/wins.dat
/var/wins.tdb
(their mtime matches the time of smbd/nmbd invocation)

If I override build configuration with smbd --statedir <path> only log.{smbd,nmbd} and wins.{dat,tdb} are created in /var.
I can't find any ./configure option change of the latest pkgrels which could cause that, but that build system looks quiet complex.

Still doesn't work with 3.6.0-6.
When I disable the lines "vfs objects = recycle" on all shares it works again. Some log messages:

working again with 3.6.0-7, even with recycle enabled!

thanks to everyone who helped ;) great and fast work!
