Hi, I'm looking for some help to migrate from plain text to encrypted passwords. I'm using smbpasswd for authentication on a FreeBSD 4.9 server with samba 2.2.8. When we set up our server, we had Win95 clients with plain text passwords. As we introduced Win98 clients, we just kept with the plain text passwords. Now we are looking at XP clients and enctrypted passwords. My understanding

Hi Maybe this is a common stupid problem, but when I try to login to Samba server from Win311 (right after its start) Windows exits very quickly to DOS prompt without error messages. If I enter Windows without loginning to Samba server, and try to login then it hangs (mouse is still active) showing me its watch. I have a couple of Win311 hosts and this happends with all of them. What could it

Hello everbody, I have a small problems with Samba 2.0.3/SuSE 6.1 and my Windows NT Clients: As long as I'm working with Win311/95/98 clients everything is OK, but when I try to connect with a WinNT 4.0 client, I get the following errormessage (translated from german, so the US message may sound a little different): Unable to connect to \\linux_server_01 Unable to log on with this account

Howdy: I'm new to this samba stuff, but I've run across a problem that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. It seems that OSR/2 clients (with all the M$ system updates; I already added the EnableClearTextPassword key) that have had their TCP/IP settings tweaked in the registry (eg, MaxMTU=576, TTL=32, RWIN added, etc) for DUN connections have mucho problems with a samba

thanks to the samba crew- we have converted several netware and nt user servers into one seam-less Unix network, except for one group, netware dialup users. ok, win95 client, ppp to linux server. using newest pppd, with correct ms-wins and ms-dns code. client can dial, gets wins server ips, etc. the client functions fine with tcp-ip stuff. the ppp server is the wins server. go to client and do a

I am getting the following level 5 logging for a Win95 PC under user-level sharing that is sharing to the user "backup" with "full-access". Can anyone help me get logged in via smbclient? shokk:/#> smbclient \\\\EOPORTO-DT\\DEPOT -U BACKUP doing parameter os level = 5 doing parameter domain controller = 137.202.xxx.xxx doing parameter wins proxy = yes doing parameter wins

On my Samba server I created a directory called 'netlogon' and I put a batch file in there called 'login.bat'. Also did I create a share called 'netlogon' which points to the 'netlogon' directory. I set up samba to use a login script (login script=netlogon/login.bat). Strange enough it does not seem to be executed when Win95 clients logon. If I double-click the

Hello, now I've set up a linux samba password server using Samba 1.9.18p4 on a linux 2.0.33. File and password serving works ok now, but I can't change my passwords with any Win95 utility. Samba always tells me "Wrong password" an d in the logs it says: "Disallowing access to user due to null password check_lanman:password: old password doesn't match" But I know

This is surely in a FAQ somewhere, but I can't find it. Latest ver. of samba on RH Linux 5.0, encrypt. passwds. My Win95 clients were happy. Then I used poledit to turn off password caching and now they are not happy. The problem is that they can't connect to their home directories. Guest shares are fine, and other shares that require passwords are fine, but when you connect to your home

We're running Samba 1.9.18p10 under Linux (kernel 2.0.35) to provide services to 25 or so Win95 clients (Win 95 OSR 2). We currently have the users telnet to our Linux server to change their passwords. If the user puts any uppercase characters in their password, Win 95 will not log them in. Mail (via IMAP) works fine, so the UNIX passwd database appears to be OK. I looked over the

Hi all, one problem with SAMBA 2.0.5 on a Caldera eServer2.3 : My 15 users with Win95 SR2 in a NT-DOMAIN are connected to SAMBA and share files and print via SAMBA. All users are in /etc/passwd and in and /etc/samba.d/smbpassw on ther LINUX-Server. There are no problems with this and are all happy. BUT : Sometimes (!!!) SAMBA wants to get a password when users want to print. My users typed the

Hey all, first off, the subcribe mechanism seems to be broken somehow ( I get timeouts ), so please cc my email address when replying to the list. I have a samba server installed for a medium/small network with roughly 25 windows client machines. The all use domain logons and mount various shares depending on which groups they belong to. The server is a debian machine (v2.2 kernel 2.2.18) with

Hi there, I've just tripped over a problem I thought only existed in WfWg3.11. On Win95 clients connecting to a 1.9.18p8 Samba server (IRIX 5.3) the first logon dialog box seems to have a problem with mixed-case passwords. If I have a lower case password, then I can just enter it in the Win95 'Microsoft Network' logon dialog at startup, and all the shares are reconnected. If I

Hi, I've been using Samba for a while in lots of places and this is the first time I've encountered this problem: I'm using 1.9.18p7 on solaris-2.6, there's a large PC network here with win95 and winNT machines all belonging to a different workgroup then the samba machine. There are no problems with the winNT clients. However, the win95 machines sometimes give the following

Hi, I'm having some problems with Samba 1.9.16p11 on a Sun3/60 running NetBSD 1.2. I have a Win95 client and a couple of DOS clients on a single ethernet segment (it's at home :-). I've set up a simple configuration, intention was just to serve files from the Sun to the PC's. Everything works perfectly except authentication from the Win95 client. I can connect to the Samba shares

My LAN is running Samba v1.9.18p10 under RedHat Linux v5.2. Using the SMB services are Win95 and OS/2 clients. It's all running fine. I will soon be adding Win98, though, and I understand that there is a question of password encryption. I'm concerned how the encrypted/plain-text communication of password will affect my existing configuration. If I reconfigure Samba to use encrypted

Greetings, Could someone please tell me if SAMBA, when used as a domain logon server, can use the existing UNIX user accounts (i.e. /etc/passwd), or the only way to make win95 domain logons work is by the method described in DOMAIN.txt (i.e. MUST use profiles on the server)? Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the win95/NT logon methodolgy/concept and I am wondering whether enabling

Hello, I need an answer to the following problem: I have a Samba server with domain logons enabled and with encrypt passwords=no. So I don't use the smbpasswd file, only the Unix password files. When I try to logon with a Win95 client (client for Microsoft Networks, logging on to a domain), people with mixed-case passwords cannot logon to the Samba logon server. Those with a password in

Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba
