samba and localhost issue

[chrosken]

hi,

i have been trying to connect to localhost using smbclient and getting the message below.

smbclient -L localhost -U%
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused)
Connection to localhost failed

I can connect without a problem if I use machine name or IP address. Can someone please advise on what else to do to fix the issue. I need this issue fix in order to run or give privilege to user accounts.

my /etc/hosts configuration is below.

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 bug.domain.com bug
192.168.1.2 bug2.domain.com bug2

thanks,
-ivan

do you have something like this in your smb.conf?

Code: Select all

bind interfaces only = no
#or
interfaces = your.ip.adress 127.0.0.1
