I have a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 Server acting as a Samba server
to share my home directory. Everything works fine on my Windows 7 machine, but on my Fedora 16 laptop, if I use Nautilus
to try
to access the share using smb://192.168.0.8/nathan in the location bar, it just has the loading cursor and does nothing. It never shows any errors, nothing. Using smbclient works just fine, but I'
d like
to get it working in Nautilus.
I know that there can be problems with SELinux and Samba, so I created a file called booleans.local that contains samba_enable_home_dirs=1.
My smb.conf file looks like this:
# For Unix password sync
to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks
to Ian Kahan <<
[email protected]> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).

passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by
an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
