hi,
    I have problem related with CIFS configuration.And When I start the alfresco server it gives me following errors related with Samba protocol in the catalina.log file. Even I have checked that my Samba service is enabled as well as I also tried out by changing the Broadcast setting (By using "ifconfig" command in linux I have get the BCast address and raplace it in file-server.XML) but still it gives me the same kind of errors.Even I have tried out by disabling the firewall setting in linux.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Edit the file file-servers.properties in <Alfresco_Directory>/tomcat/share/classes/alfresco/extension, and define a Domain (cannot be repeated) to your cifs. Something like:

cifs.localname=${localname}
cifs.domain=ALFRESCO
cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.255

After that restart alfresco. the error should disappear.

Are you using AD for users login?

If not, your CIFS should work. You can test using:
     $smbclient -U admin //localhost/alfresco

hope it helps
