Can't detect the samba share.[Resolved]
-
follow the steps: https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Sharing-with-Samba
I still can't setup samba server.
The share folders can't detected by Win10, ubuntu, and other OS.
Does anyone can help? Thank you.HW: OMEGA2+

Same problem on OMEGA2, latest firmware (0.1.9 b149).
Did you try to edit the 'security' field to 'share' in /etc/samba/smb.config.template ?in my case, the problem persists anyway.
EDIT:
Switched to the official LEDE repo and 'fresh' (with new config files) installed the samba36-server package: Still the smb server is not detectable. I've also tried to follow this tutorialEDIT2:
tried to open samba typical ports adding rules to /etc/config/firewall and tried to add mi router to /etc/hosts. Samba is still not detectable my mac and phone.EDIT3:
RESOLVED => It seems like the samba package and the firmware don't communicate very well: basically samba doesn't know which network interface is available. I fixed by specifying it in the general samba settings, use:uci set samba.@samba[0].interface='eth* [YOUR_CLIENT_IP]/[SUB_NET_MASK]'
uci commit samba
/etc/init.d/samba restartthis will allow samba to acces every eth* network interface, the other two field should be optional, only there to allow a specific IP/mask (my mac in my shared wifi, later i'll put a password)
Read here for more info.
EDIT4:
I checked and 'everything' is working right now. I think that the problem is the strange name the wireless interface has (eth0.1), or at least I'm used to integer numbers.

I am getting the same thing using the same setup as in the tutorial.
I changed a few things (not allowing guest) and created my samba user/pass using smbpasswd, and still not able to connect.
Tried using IP and Name (yes, bonjour installed and I can connect via name with FTP and SSL).

Mark as [RESOLVED] please.

@Enrico-Trevisanello As for marking resolved, use the vertical ellipses on the first post and edit the title.
Just realized you were not OP.
-
@Brad-Buskey I guess he would if he was the OP.
-
@Costas-Costas Just saw that...
-
@Enrico-Trevisanello I attempted to use the code you posted, and am getting an error.
uci set samba.@samba[0].interface='eth* 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0'
"uci: Parse error (invalid command) at line 3, byte 1"
-
@Brad-Buskey oh sorry, I'm a beginner too and I don't know what's not working there. Actually, I edited the file /etc/config/samba directly using 'vi', this is how its general section looks like now:
-
@Enrico-Trevisanello Sweet! That worked like a charm. showed up immediately after restarting the service.
However, while I can view, I cannot actually enter the directory. It will not accept my userid/password.
-
Am I not able to connect as 'root'? Do I need to create a new user account in order to allow access?
-
as i remember from playing around with samba, that you can grant the rights for root in the configuration. Just might be a security issue?!
-
Thank you @Enrico Trevisanello!
The following worked for me:
uci set samba.@samba[0].interface='eth* [YOUR_CLIENT_IP]/[SUB_NET_MASK]'
uci commit samba
/etc/init.d/samba restartI'm currently on 0.1.9 b150 firmware if that helps.
-
@Brad-Buskey yes! you have to! check (and modify) the the file /etc/samba/smb.conf.template
this file is the template, as the name says itself, and is used to generate the actual config file /etc/samba/smb.conf every time the samba service starts (so also when you restart it).
-
@Enrico-Trevisanello Thank you. It works. I edited the /etc/config/samba directly. added the interface.
-
FYI: You can set '*' for the interfaces value, that way it will work for BOTH ethernet and wlan.
I also created a
/shareddirectory and ansmbuser to manage all the samba files. This is what I have now:root@Omega-72FF:~# cat /etc/config/samba config samba option 'name' 'Omega' option 'workgroup' 'WORKGROUP' option 'description' 'Omega' option 'homes' '0' option 'interface' '*' # <-- (wlan + ethernet) config 'sambashare' option 'name' 'shared' option 'path' '/shared' option 'users' 'smb' option 'guest_ok' 'yes' option 'create_mask' '0700' option 'dir_mask' '0700' option 'read_only' 'no'Note that the
smbuser has to be created both as a system user AND samba user. This is done by editing the/etc/passwdfile (add a line), setting the password for the newly created use (passwd smb) and creating the user at samba level withsmbpasswd -a smb. Make sure you also dochown smb /sharedso that this user owns the relevant directory.As per @Luciano-S coment above, the reason for going through all this malarchy is because the
rootuser by default is prevented from being a samba user as well (I'm guessing because of the security risk).You can probably turn this off by commenting the relevant line in
/etc/samba/smb.conf.templatethen settingrootas your sambashare user instead.. but I was happier with the config above:[global] netbios name = |NAME| display charset = |CHARSET| interfaces = |INTERFACES| server string = |DESCRIPTION| unix charset = |CHARSET| workgroup = |WORKGROUP| local master = no browseable = yes deadtime = 30 domain master = yes encrypt passwords = yes enable core files = no guest ok = yes # invalid users = root # hmmm.. is commenting this out a good idea? load printers = no map to guest = Bad User max protocol = SMB2

@Steven-de-Salas What is the line syntax for the new user in /etc/passwd
It looks like User:?:?:?:user?:home-dir:shell
I dont know the ? in the above?I almost have it, I just cant get authenticated.
-
@Brad-Buskey said in Can't detect the samba share.[Resolved]:
I almost have it, I just cant get authenticated.
I guess you have to tell us witch way you took. If you gave the user root full access you may not have to authenticate?
-
Just to see if I can get into the smb share, I commented out the Invalid User from the template.
I created the root account in the smbpasswd
I then attempted to connect to the share (via OSX) and was able to connect to the share.
This gives me a list of the directories (I mapped it to '/')
All of the directories, when I attempt to access them, return the following:
"The folder 'root' can't be opened because you do not have permission to see its contents."I used the template above from Steven for the share, commenting out the "option 'users' line.
Once I get the /etc/passwd worked out, I will go back to using a separate user for the samba, however I have a feeling I will get the same results (no access to any directory) anyway. So I want to get it working with root first.

@Brad-Buskey: I used this link to create my new
/etc/passwduser, the result is as follows:smb:x:501:501:samba:/shared:/bin/ashMy understanding is that this is equivalent to:
[user]:[pwd]:[id]:[id]:[desc]:[home]:[shell]When running
passwd smbthe [pwd] component seems to get replaced by a hash of the password.Dont forget you also need to give user full access the the [home] directory. I used
chown smb /sharedto acomplish this.You can also verify samba auth locally before moving on to connect via your desktop:
$ opkg install samba36-client ...(package download blah blah)... $ smbclient -L localhost -U smb Enter smb's password: ****** Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- shared Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Omega) Server Comment --------- ------- MEDIAHUB WD TV Live OMEGA Omega Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP MEDIAHUB
