JdL> I've always been afraid to ask, but here goes... JdL> What's the advantage of GUEST_SESSSETUP being a compile time parameter, JdL> instead of having it as an smb.conf parameter? I'd like to second this question! Also, just in case that it will not become an smb.conf parameter: can't it be added as a comment to the Makefile (probably near the comments to FAST_SHARE_MODES)?

I have a Win95 machine that I am trying to connect to a Samba share. When I log in as administrator, I can connect to any and all samba shares just fine. When I log onto the PC as a normal user, it asks for a password and rejects them all. The logs say "server xyz rejected password" for each of these attempts. This server has SP3 and I *do* have the encryption stuff compiled in. I

...anda\IPC$". Security = server, the WinNT boxes have SP3 loaded, and this is Samba 1.9.18pl13. This behavior has shown since 1.9.17pl1. 1.9.17 haq worked fine, but anything since then has not worked for me. I would really like to get this running. One thing I have tried is the play with the GUEST_SESSSETUP define in local.h, which only lets people connect as guest. It hasn't helped, since these people do have accounts on the NT server that I am asking Samba to authenticate through. -Ernie 12/16/1997 12:39:28 Transaction 1 of length 158 switch message SMBnegprot (pid 29555) Requested protocol [...

...sword (length 0). smbd calls password_ok(), but this function calls smb_password_check() (which only can decide, if supplied null password is valid) *only* if password length is 24. If password length is 0, it falls back to whatever is available on Unix, and finally fails. If smbd was compiled with GUEST_SESSSETUP=0 or 1, session setup fails. I cannot for myself decide, if smbpasswd or smbd gets it wrong. But it is clear bug. I send it to samba-bugs as well. A. Borsenkow

...at legitimate users may then be refused ->access to their legitimate resource s. Setting this option creates ->serious security holes. DO NOT DO IT. Samba has the value of this option ->set at 0 - NOT WITHOUT REASON!!!! Well, until this FAQ became added to the docs, I did (I confess!) use GUEST_SESSSETUP=1, which did allow all NT machines guest access - useful for printing to unix queues, among other things. Given the above strong language I've now removed this option, and so people without accounts can't access printers which they could previously. So, my question is, is there any way to...

Hi I have attempted to install Samba on an ageing Motorola running SVR3. Unfortunately it has a limitation of 14 characters for filenames, which means that when I untar the package, many of the files are not created. Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or am I stuck? Many thanks -- Pete ---------------------------------------------------------------- morph@morhp.dircon.co.uk
