Has anyone successfully made samba work using the vboxnet virtual
internal LAN of VirtualBox to allow a MS Win client to print to the
Linux CUPS printer under SL 6?
If so, I greatly would appreciate a copy of your samba configuration file.
With my configuration file, I get errors such as:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.4-68.el6_0.2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
using smbclient from the linux side. This failure also happens when I
use 127.0.0.1 as the allowed IP address (ifconfig -a shows lo on this
address), not just the IP of vboxnet0 that does not exist except when
VirtualBox is running a guest OS.
Also, if you have had success, how did you setup the password file for
samba in terms of encryption, password program, etc.? I have attempted
to use both swat and webmin, as well as manual editing, but still cannot
get samba to work. Note that I do NOT want samba on any external IP
address, but only on an internal network.
I had gotten samba to work with VMWare a number of years ago, but my
notes from that epoch are not solving the current problems. For lack of
licensing funding, I cannot run VMWare workstation at this time.
