Samba, Unable to Access Shared Folders/Files [Solved]

[CharlesV]

I dont believe so. This error is showing up in searches as a problem with the server min protocol in smb.conf. Did you change that manually at all ?

try this and post results please.

Code: Select all

testparm -sv | grep protocol

Samba shares are defined with the MX Tool called MX Samba Config which does NOT store share definitions in /etc/samba/smb.conf.

Please read: Samba Config Help File

Do you mean that what I did before makes no difference?
What Can I do now to overcome the error message I got.
I read the link quickly. It is like steps on how to do it. (Though images are a bit different)

Yes, I changed it when was trying to do manually.

Code: Select all

limo@limo:~
$ testparm -sv | grep protocol

If you saved the original smb.conf, I would suggest putting that back into place and then trying the MX Samba Config method, after a reboot. I think your samba config is conflicting

Specifically, I think this is the issue, remove that line.

Code: Select all

server min protocol = SMB2_02

unfortunately I didn't.
What if I just try and delete it, reboot the laptop? Would that help?

Wait 1

First, make copy of your smb.conf file some place.

Then, delete these lines from your /etc/samba/smb.conf

Code: Select all

        client ipc max protocol = default
        client ipc min protocol = default
        client max protocol = default
        client min protocol = SMB2_02
        server max protocol = SMB3
        server min protocol = SMB2_02

Then I would also remove the edits you made to that same file regarding your shares you tried to setup.

The first part of the [home] section of my default smb.conf looks like this:

Code: Select all

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no

# By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change the
# next parameter to 'no' if you want to be able to write to them.
   read only = yes

# File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   create mask = 0700

# Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   directory mask = 0700

# By default, \\server\username shares can be connected to by anyone
# with access to the samba server.
# The following parameter makes sure that only "username" can connect
# to \\server\username
# This might need tweaking when using external authentication schemes
   valid users = %S

# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons
# (you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)
;[netlogon]
;   comment = Network Logon Service
;   path = /home/samba/netlogon
;   guest ok = yes
;   read only = yes

# Un-comment the following and create the profiles directory to store
# users profiles (see the "logon path" option above)
# (you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)
# The path below should be writable by all users so that their
# profile directory may be created the first time they log on
;[profiles]
;   comment = Users profiles
;   path = /home/samba/profiles
;   guest ok = no
;   browseable = no
;   create mask = 0600
;   directory mask = 0700

That should put you back close to default. Then reboot and try to use MX Samba Config again.

server min protocol = SMB2_02 is not in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf!

AH, its a default config. Sorry.
