Fedora and Samba

Fedora and Samba

[Robert Spangler]

Hello,

I just installed Fedora.  I did some minimal edits of smb.conf and started 
the Samba service to bring some files to the Fedora box from my Windows 
laptop.  I am unable to log into the Fedora box.  I am also unable to SSH to 
the Fedora box upon enabling SSHD.  Is there some type of firewall rule set 
up on Fedora by default that blocks incoming connections?  Thanks for any 
feedback.

The easiest way to determine whether se linux is blocking you is to
disable it in /etc/sysconfig/selinux. This will, unfortunately, require
a reboot, but it will help localize the problem.

PS: Have you setup swat? I have found swat very useful for samba
configuration.
