It's a shame you don't get an answer, I have the same problem, Samba doesn't seem to work anymore.

Same thing here on my dm8000.
It appears in the network but when i click on it,the connections is refused.

Looks like those files are missing.

Only on my dm7025 it works fine.

Looking at your signature you don't even own a DM500hd. :wink:
As I do not own a dm500hd either I can't try it out overhere. It could be that nobody of the team owns a dm500hd anymore.

As samba works ok on all my present boxes I suspect a local issue. And, on the other hand, if it isn't a local issue there should be more complaints I assume. Don't you think. And solving a local / specific issue is always extra hard.

Looks like a configuration problem. Easiest way to reset it is to remove samba, remove configuration files, and then put it back with the defaults:

opkg remove samba
rm -rf /etc/samba
opkg install samba

[Frenske]

I just tried my DM8000 and as you can see, no problem overhere.
I also tried the DM800se, the VU+ duo and the ET9000. No problems at this moment.

The firmware is uptodate untill yesterday as it still is early this sunday. :wink:

What could be the cause of this problem?
Is this a local issue or a 'minor' bug?

I know for sure, i didn't delete anything.(knowing about)
And i think this came up around reflashing to openpli 2.1.(with autobackup from openpli 2.0)

[Frenske]

The problem is, and I mean after solving your problem, that it's difficult looking for a cause.

In another topic Jeroensky mentioned to check the samba.cfg in the directory /etc/samba/samba.conf
It should be like this.

[Harddisk]
  comment = The harddisk
  path = /hdd
  read only = no
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes

In your case it's a matter of 'after solving a problem is simular at looking into a cows ass'. Some things can't be translated. /images/smiley/more_teasing/12.gif

You can say that, but my configfile is and was fine.
Just de map /var/volatile/samba was missing.
So that's a problem to if i didn't delete it./images/smiley/shock.gif

[SnijdeA]

My config says :

[global]
load printers = no
printcap name = /dev/null
guest account = root
log file = /tmp/smb.log
log level = 0
security = share
server string = Samba server %h
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = %h
case sensitive=yes
preserve case=yes
short preserve case=yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
preferred master = no

[Harddisk]
comment = The harddisk
path = /hdd
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[Root]
comment = Everything - take care!
path = /
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

Ditto, same here.

hi,
my sharing between 2 satreceivers (1 vu+duo and 1 et9000) did not work after some upgrades. 1 machine did sharing ok, the other was seen in the browsing but no shares were detected.
did not know what to do, saw this topic, did the uninstall en reinstall of the samba server and everything worked fine.
tnx for this post.

Had a Samba problem with the latest OpenPLi for DM7020HD and did the above without "rm -rf /etc/samba" (kept my config intact) and all is working now. I could not see the DM7020HD Internal Hard Drive and now it is visible in Windows 7.

Thanks MiLo
