I have one question : What operation systems are on the machines trying to connect to this box? And one suggestion : Follow these steps: [1] Never use gadmin-samba again for as long as you live. Run the following command to find out why: testparm -s [2] Make sure you have a file at this location ( ...

For reasons unknown MATE does not install a package that would allow you to create a share through caja: sudo apt install caja-share I don't think that's enough though ... I think you need to close caja and then reopen it ... or maybe logoff and logon again ... or maybe make a blood sacrifice ... fo...

The permissions for Wrong number of arguments prevent other users from accessing this share ** That is a poorly worded error message isn't it? ** The reason you cannot find anything searching the web is because that error message is unique to Mint ( as in not Ubuntu ). ** You got that error message...

Sorry, I cannot reproduce your symptoms. Maybe if you disabled your firewall? I wouldn't be too suprised if Win10 cannot "discover" your Mint server. If you have kept your Win10 box up to date it has smb1 disabled on the client side and Win10 cannot discover anything by its netBIOS name. You would h...

Everything you posted is exactly the way it should look. I have no idea why it's not working for you. At a minimum I would disable all firewalls if you have them enabled sudo ufw disable and make sure smbd is running sudo service smbd restart I did do a search on this result because I've never seen ...

Ignore this part. I thought you said Mint19 not Mint18: The version of samba in Mint19 registers the mDNS name ( avahi ) to the rest of the network automatically. I'm not sure what happens when you also include a samba.service file in /etc/avahi/services on top of that. Before making any other chang...

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your setup although you should try not to add share definitions to smb.conf and then create shares in Nemo ( the net usershare shares ). In this particular case they match. My initial guess is that you have an encrypted home directory. All of your share...

@Larry78723, I am not suggesting you make any adjustments to what you already have in place. No sense fixing somethin' that ain't broke and I'm probably going to get yelled at for posting this since it's already marked (SOLVED) but ... Personally I'm also fond of e.g. x-systemd.idle-timeout=10m whic...

Is it at all possible that these Win10 machines are all running on their "Public Network" settings not their "Private Network" settings?

If you go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center does it display your "active" network as Private or Public?

But do the above only if you are feeling lucky. We're talking about laptops here right. The darn things may end up anywhere unless you keep a close eye on 'em.

Just a guess since I don't use your app but I betcha it's because Win10 disabled smb1 and that is the only way the asus fm can access it.

Altair, I have a final question. Could this be used to set up a central /home for all my machines? I'm the only one here so there's no danger of 2 people trying to open the same file. I have never done that so I'm not sure. I can see a "Documents" folder for example shared across many clients but a...

If your share is mounted unmount it: sudo umount /home/larry/backup Edit /etc/fstab and remove sec=ntlm so that your line looks like this: //192.168.42.3/larry_home /home/larry/backup cifs uid=larry,credentials=/home/larry/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0 I don't think this matters but the credent...

OK so what does this do:

On the 192.168.42.3 machine please post the output of the following commands: testparm -s net usershare info --long Question : On the 192.168.42.3 did you add larry to the samba password database: sudo smbpasswd -a larry Notes : [1] You didn't have to add min protocol=smb2 [2] Don't try to connect t...

I have an ASUS RT-86U, the default firmware doesn't support SMB2+ so I flashed asuswrt-merlin which supports SMB2. However no matter what I find online I am unable to access the share on mint 19.2. Keep in mind I'm trying to mount the entire drive. It works fine in windows. //192.168.50.1 /media/SH...

On your neon system install avahi-utils sudo apt install avahi-utils Then run this command: avahi-browse -at | grep Network | grep IPv4 Is should list your neon host name and tag it ( incorrectly ) as Windows Network ... If it show up there but not in Dolphi it's the same bug KDE file managers have ...

Ha Ha. I meant that if you allows samba trough the firewall on the server end the client will not be blocked from discovering itself because of a old samba port issue.

Although I don't really need networking because I only have one computer and a hardware router with LuCI openwrt-18.06 (Linux) with a USB drive attached, I like to know how to do networking for myself and to help others. I may be looking at the wrong resource: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/se...

Spearmint, here's what that gives me: //192.168.1.1/backup /home/larry/router cifs rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,cache=strict,username=Larry,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.1,soft,unix,posixpaths,serverino,mapposix,acl,rsize=61440,wsize=65536,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1 0 0 That's ...
