Any ideas? what's supposed to be at /usr/var/run.

Then I'll be delighted to use your outline :) Bob (off to bed now) After your first cup of coffee, add the following (changed for your release) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE _1 1.0/ 3.2 is an older release. 3.4 is current. update the samba packages and see if that helps. If not, a post to the https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34690 samba list is usually the quickest was to get an answer. Post back if you get hung up. Good morning, Thanks for the samba repo which I have added, and duly upgraded my samba installation. However, not much has changed... barrowhillfarm:~ # testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[profiles]" Processing section "[users]" Processing section "[groups]" Processing section "[pictures]" Processing section "[tmp]" Loaded https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-09/msg01303.html services file OK.

Who should own them? What permissions should they have? I would have thought they would have been created automatically. I shall take your advice to ask on the samba list, but when I made initial enquiries there, I was advised to re-install, which I've now done. Many thanks, Bob The answer is staring me in the face! Those lines marked ERROR above refer to lines in smb.conf such as lock directory = file:///var/lib/samba which should, of course, read lock directory = /var/lib/samba I have no idea where the spurious "file://" came from, but many thanks to Helmut Hullen on samba@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for helping me find the problem.

I don't want to ship a running samba setup in what is a workstation OS. Therefore, I've removed `caja-share` from the default package list and this will be reflected in the upcoming alpha 2 release. Should anyone want to use the `caja-share` extension they can `apt-get install caja-share samba` to get the desired functionality.
