Samba problem - mounting fails
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 1:12 am
Well, after a week of searching this forum and around the net, I'm looking for some help troubleshooting this problem.
I have Samba running on my Fedora 17 box (oudebok) which successfully shares the home directory of three users and also a public area called "/fileshare" which has most of my media files (except MythTV recordings). I have been able to access these directories from my two windoze computers as well as my MythTV backend (mythserver). Also, before it died, my old frontend (mythfront) running Mythdora was able to access "/fileshare." I liked being able to use MythMusic to play audio files that were stored on "/fileshare" and everything was working well.
Now that I have introduced MiniMyth, I cannot access "/fileshare" from the new MM frontend (mythviewer). I have tried putting the command in the MM config file, but that actually prevents the system from booting properly. When I try manually, I get various errors. I'd like to try to add one of my regular users to the MM box, but I can't see how to do it (useradd is an unknown command). Likewise, I cannot run "smbclient" or "testparm" on the MM box because they are not recognized commands. So the short version is: what do I need to do to make this work? Samba is definitely working on all other computers on the network. I've run out of things to try based upon my searches here and around the internet.
And from the /var/log/messages on the MM frontend (mythviewer):
Please let me know what else I need to try to make this work or to troubleshoot further.
Thank you!
