Problems with Samba only on OpenSuSE
Feb 9th 2013, 21:11

I have used the same smb.conf file from Fedora and Kubuntu and have since migrated to OpenSuSE 12.2 and then 12.3 RC1. With the same config file on OpenSuSE, Samba just doesn't want to work. I can see my SuSE machine from another ubuntu machine and *sometimes* a windows machine, but I can never browse the files on the network. Lately I can't even see the SuSE machine with my phone (android) but can see it with Ubuntu, but still cannot browse the shares.

The firewall is disabled in SuSE. It seems that OpenSuSE has never been easy to setup with samba. I have always had problems getting Samba working with SuSE. I typically use KDE and in Yast I setup samba to allow users to share their home directories. I noticed there's share options in dolphin within KDE. Am I not supposed to mess with those options? What could I be doing wrong?

I'll post my smb.conf next time I reboot. I'm in Windows now doing some troubleshooting.
