I cant' access Samba Server

[Hermann]

Just a simple question.

Can´t access SAMBA SERVER from a Mac OsX El Capitan Finder.

Simple smb4.conf file:

[global]
     workgroup=WORKGROUP
[Anonymous]
     path = /rocket/BACKUP
     browsable = yes
     writable = yes
     read only = no
     force user = nobody
     guest ok = yes

I've set chown 0777 /rocket/BACKUP

Any solutions will be grateful !

Sorry but I solved...

I didn't create a samba user:

pdbedit -a -u Bob

Configure Zeroconf to announce samba share with mDNSResponder or Avahi.
Sample configuration of mDNSResponder can be found at [URL]https://cmcenroe.me/2017/01/08/freebsd-macos-file-sharing.html[/[/URL]
Sample configuration with avahi can be found at [URL]https://www.tumfatig.net/20170607/let-mac-os-auto-discover-your-smb-shares/[/URL].

Can´t access SAMBA SERVER

Define "can't access"? Can't connect to the server? Can't login? Can't browse?

I've set chown 0777 /rocket/BACKUP

Never, EVER, do things like this. It's NEVER the right solution.

My MacBook Couldn’t log into the server. But now I can, It was a matter of adding one samba user.

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks Hiroo Ono, I’ll try it Look as a very useful trick.

Yes, Samba has its own user database, which is separate from the local system's accounts.
