Hi there!

I'm using samba to allow people on the network here to store their files on a central location. But I have some troubles running samba on OpenWRT.

I installed this package:

root@Router:~$ ipkg list_installed | grep samba
samba-server - 2.0.10-2 -

And this is my smb.conf:

[global]
 syslog = 0
 syslog only = yes
 workgroup = MSHOME
 server string =
 security = share
 encrypt passwords = yes
 guest account = harry
 local master = yes
 name resolve order = lmhosts hosts bcast
 log file = /tmp/smb.log

[Muziek]
 path = /mnt/disc0_1/data/Muziek
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 writeable = yes

[Video]
 path = /mnt/disc0_1/data/Video
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 writeable = yes

[Torrent]
 path = /mnt/disc0_1/data/Torrent
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 writeable = yes

[Troep]
 path = /mnt/disc0_1/data/Troep
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 writeable = yes

I'm using Windows XP Professional and Ubuntu 7.10 clients. In windows there is asked for a password sometimes when i try to connect to the router, and sometimes it's not asked.

In Ubuntu I cannot list the network at all.

Does anyone know what's wrong with my smb.conf?
The same smb.conf was also running on Oleg's firmware without trouble.

PS: I have the same problems when I use "guest account = nobody".

Already got the clue, when installing samba samba was complaining about the fact that it was impossible to resolve it's own hostname, zo I added "Router" to my /etc/hosts file as 127.0.0.1, not realising that dnsmasq was configured with the "expand-hosts" option. So every DNS lookup to Router pointed to 127.0.0.1.

The clients got a little confused. Pointed Router to 192.168.1.1 solved all the trouble.
