I followed closely all tests from the Samba docs troubleshooting chapter:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch12.html
I am just trying to setup samba shares on RH 7 and see them from Windows. All tests they recommend there pass, up to and including the last one, Windows net use
command which works as specified.
I am using their sample smb.conf
:\
[global]
workgroup = CORP
security = user
browsable = yes
local master = yes
[homes]
guest ok = no
browsable = no
[temp]
path = /tmp
public = yes
I changed workgroup because my Windows workgroup is corp
. I did create samba username with the same password as Unix username and that is what I am attempting to connect with, from Windows. Home directory permissions are 777 just in case it matters.
I can see all the shares from Windows. I can see the contents of the temp
share. I can see the homes
share as well as my username
share. But I cannot see their contents - when I try to double-click on these shares from Windows Explorer, I get "access denied".
Why?
