Problem with samba on wl500gx

[tekmic]

My knowledge of Linix is rather low. It seems as if, I cannot find the right answer on the net, so please help me out here. :)

I configured the 500gx with samba as described on macsat.com. I can see the share on my workstations, but I can not create a new folder or upload files to the share.

The log files says:

[2005/07/05 19:51:02, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent_internal(87)
startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /etc/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory
[2005/07/05 19:51:02, 0] passdb/passdb.c:iterate_getsmbpwnam(149)
unable to open smb password database.
[2005/07/05 20:07:39, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent_internal(87)
startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /etc/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory
[2005/07/05 20:07:39, 0] passdb/passdb.c:iterate_getsmbpwnam(149)
unable to open smb password database.

The config file is:

[admin@wl500g root]$ cat /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = Hjemme
guest account = nobody
security = share
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = no
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy =no

[USBshare]
path=/opt/USBdisk/
writable = yes
browsable = yes

How to get on with this? :confused:

Perhaps guide should be updated. Works fine with built-in config:


[global]
interfaces = br0
bind interfaces only = yes
workgroup = WORKGROUP
guest account = nobody
security = share
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes

[share]
path = /tmp/harddisk

[share$]
path = /tmp/harddisk
writable = yes
force user = root
browseable = no


P.S. Why don't you use default config?

it seems that the error message is clear.
Why don't you create the smbpasswd file?
this file contains the account encrypted passwords
the linux instruction is
smbpasswd [user]
