samba
I am trying to set up a Samba share on a Centos machine. I want to connect to this server using smbclient on OS X. Here is what happens:
> smbclient -L X.X.X.X
timeout connecting to X.X.X.X:445
timeout connecting to X.X.X.X:139
Error connecting to X.X.X.X (Operation already in progress)
Connection to X.X.X.X failed
What could be going wrong? Here is my iptables dump on the Centos machine (the server):
> iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

And finally, my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
security = SHARE
load printers = No
default service = global
path = /home
available = No
encrypt passwords = yes
[share]
writeable = yes
admin users = myusername
path = /home/myhome/
force user = root
valid users = myusername
public = yes
available = yes
