I used to be able to have free access to my Xbian shares via either Windows or Android devices through Samba. Today I planned to move some files to these shares and I couldn't get access to those shares with any device .

Do you see the shares in Explorer?

Quote:I can ping the Xbian setup fine, SSH works, remote control of Kodi all works OK. Xbian is visiible in the network section of Windows Explorer and Android ES File Explorer. Samba is running, but when I try to disable or restart it in xbian-config, the config tool crashes on me. Online I don't find a lot of information on how to error check this issue.

Which xbian-config do you mean? The text based or Kodi's XBian-config GUI?

Usually I have Samba (nmbd service) disabled, don't need it. But just tested, can access shares, can create and delete files without any issues (Windows XP and Windows 7 tested)

Using text based xbian-config seems to crash when enabling/disabling samba service. Have to investigate later

You can test it manually

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 ~ # sudo status nmbd
nmbd start/running, process 27958
root@kmxbilr2 ~ #

and file /etc/inetd.conf must contain following lines

Code:

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
microsoft-ds stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd

and, of course, service openbsd-inetd must be active

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 ~ # sudo status openbsd-inetd
openbsd-inetd start/running, process 1702
root@kmxbilr2 ~ #
