samba problem

leave0

hi guys ,i need some favour,i install and config samba follow "https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_set_up_a_samba_server/", it show " protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT" when i run "smbclient -Usamba -L localhost" i dont know what i miss?thanks

and this my step and config file
pkgin install samba
cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/smbd /etc/rc.d/
cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/nmbd /etc/rc.d/
cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/samba /etc/rc.d/
and in /etc/rc.conf
smbd=YES
nmbd=YES
samba=YES
and my /usr/pkg/etc/samba/smb.conf
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.31. log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [shared] comment = Shared path = /home/zero/work browseable = yes writable = yes guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = yes printable = yes

leave0 corrected the link in your post, it was giving a 404

Have you noticed the guide is 8 years old?
samba version?
Unfortunately, the default samba package still installs the old version 3.
You can install version 4, samba4 is the correct package.

Its surely possible that a few things have changed in 8 years and the guide needs some adjustment.
That said, I don't use samba and can't really help, just thought we better clear some potential issues for starters.

That tutorial is wrong. It starts SMB services both via inetd and standalone via rc.conf. Use one or the other.
Comment out those SMB-related lines in /etc/inetd.conf, then restart inetd.

pin i dont understand why they dont refresh the tutorials pages 😅

I actually wrote a tutorial of my own, mainly because the NetBSD guide's instructions were outdated. http://dressupgeekout.blogspot.com/2020/02/let-make-files-on-your-netbsd-machine.html

However, I have run into a problem when trying to connect to my Samba server from a Windows 10 machine... I might update the post later

leave0 it's always a priority question, updating docs takes time, just like updating packages does.

I've honestly never thought about updating docs 🙁
It's so much more fun to push new packages or, to update packages.

Please feel free to flag outdated docs and propose changes/updates if you test them.
It will help improving the docs quality.
I can forward these into the relevant channels and hopefully get them up-to-date.

Forum Admin: is it possible to prevent the forum software from interpreting code blocks content as markdown?
Note: a workaround in this particular post is to remove spaces following hash signs.
BTW: how about code blocks containing apostrophes?

Here's my home server's smb.conf, in case it would help you solve your Windows interoperability issue (the relevant part is under "Global Settings"):

leave0 i comment the nameserver and everything is ok,although i dont know why！

Hmm. Which nameserver? named or the samba one?
Can you show us the outputs of these commands?

$ cat /etc/hosts
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
$ grep -Ev '^[[:blank:]]*#' /etc/nsswitch.conf | tr -s '\n'
$ grep -Ev '^[[:blank:]]*#' /etc/named.conf | tr -s '\n'

leave0 its nothing wrong with expecting that but, it takes time and/or manpower.

(Un)fortunately, NetBSD doesn't have the same number of contributors that some Linux distros or, even FreeBSD and OpenBSD have.
The good news is, everyone can contribute 😉

If you start with the wiki entry you found and correct it using the suggestions you got here, you can submit an update to the samba guide.
The test you already have if, its working at your end 😉

Who knows what you might find next time...

If you remove the inetd and samba references (the samba server in the samba package needs additional config. not given in the wiki), and add winbindd also to /etc/rc.d as the install messages recommend, then I can confirm that the rest of the stuff works as advertised. I was able to use @leave0 own smb.conf--with minor path adjustments--to get samba working on my machine.

Any of you can submit changes, https://wiki.netbsd.org/
