I use SAMBA to export directories to a VMware/Win2K VM. In Fedora 7 the
VM doesn't see the SAMBA shares, in FC6 it works fine. I'm using the
same /etc/samba files and the same VM. The firewall and SELinux are both
disabled.

Is anyone else having SAMBA problems on F7?

have you checked /var/log/samba/log.smb or /var/log/messages
for errors? Where are the samba shares located? which type of
machine? is the vm and the samba on the same physical machine?

I've checked log.smb and log/messages and they are clean. The system
information is,

A64 3800+ (single core), 2.5G of RAM
Fedora 7, 64 bit, 2.6.21.5 kernel

VMware 1.0.3, Win2K SP4

The VM is running on the F7 machine.

I got the answer on the Fedora Forums. For the benefit of others, the
problem is that start up script in /etc/init.d/smb. The script in Fedora
7 is broken. It only starts the smbd daemon but not the nmbd daemon. I
copied the smb script from my FC6 installation into my F7 installation
and that fixed everything.

F7 seems to have both smb and nmb startup scripts in /etc/init.d, but nmb
is not enabled.

Instead of overriding smb you can probably do "ckconfig --level 23345 nmb
on && service nmb start"
