Re: OpenSUSE 11 is released First REALLY major bug I've seen...
Samba cannot get thru the firewall.
Also, SWAT has no effect on samba.conf any longer.
Firewall bug was confirmed by disabling firewall and suddenly networked machines became visible.
SWAT problem seems to be some sort of permissions snafu.
Activating Samba thru YasT seems to work OK. It creates a samba.conf and smbpsswd and the rest of the configuration files from scratch if need be. As usual though, SuSE screwed up on the firewall holes necessary for it to run properly.
Opening the ports that earlier howtos have suggested has no effect. Machine still cannot see my Workgroup. Disabling the firewall seems to be the only answer for the moment.
Yeah,,,  Fat chance
As for SWAT? It has become a 100% ineffective tool for Samba configuration. Changes are not even visible much less committed. The YaST Samba setup offers a very limited range of options for configuring shares, but at least it seems to work for now.
So, if anyone out there has the ear of a developer, this is an item to get on top of ASAP... |
