Yesterday, I was checking the features of winbind using authconfig-tui in RHEL5. it works but I started getting problem in samba server.

I have checked the /etc/samba.smb.conf file . It was fine and it didn't give any error message when I executed the command testparm -s.

Service smb restart was also fine.

When I executed the command findsmb, it took some time to display the listed smb shares in the network.

When I have tried the command smbclient -U username //station1.example.com

It gave me an error message

NT_Server_No_logon found something like this

I have checked the log messages and i got he following error messages

sep 20 23:16:30 station1 nmbd[3084] : [2007/09/20] nmbd/nmbd.c: terminate (5

sep 20 23:16:30 station1 nmbd[3084] : [2007/09/20] GOT SIGTERM : going down

sep 20 23:16:30 station1 smbd[4180] : [2007/09/20] printing/nt_printing.c: nt_printing_init (649)

sep 20 23:16:30 station1 smbd[4180] : [2007/09/20]: nt_printing_init: error checking published printers: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

I was confused after seeing the error message because there is printer shared through samba at all. I have stopped cups service but the error message still persists.

Please let me know the possible reason behind this and the solution for this issue.

However, I have reinstalled the samba package and issue is no more now but I still would like to know the reason for the error message.

as per my knowledge, It's not a Samba problem but a problem with the configuration of your machine.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network

and change

HOSTNAME=???

Dear Vaibhav,
If you are using RHEL5 and configuring samba on the same, you must run selinux command.
use " man 8 samba_selinux"
you get a manual page of selinux with command.
