[SOLVED] Samba access issues

[arda]

Hi,

I have a clean install of Arch on my Pogplug with samba installed as per the instructions at: http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/ ... ions/samba

For the smb.conf I used the same one posted on that page except for the path for my share. I have 1 500GB NTFS drive connected and mounted as /media/500GB, so my path = /media/500GB/

Apart from that everything else is the same as the example conf file. ( Workgroup is also WORKGROUP in my case)

After starting samba, I do not see it in any of my Windows or Ubuntu PCs on the network. Here is the output from testparm
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[ArchPogo]"

[global]
server string = Alarm
security = SHARE
socket options = TCO_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE
idmap config * : backend = tdb
force user = root
[ArchPogo]
path = /media/500GB/
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
')

I basically want to use the pogoplug as my NAS for the network and eventually maybe out of the network too.

I dont have much experience setting up Linux shares, so bear with me on this one. Any help is appreciated. At this point I do not see the samba share on my network

Solved... Turns out a simple restart of the Windows machine was enough....Oopps
