Hi people, I've spend some time to figured out wath is wrong with Samba 2.0.0 and why smbclient not working wiht right password: 1) In Samba 2.0.0 you have to enable the UserAccound, before you will access it with smbclient! Syntax: "smbpasswd -e user" 2) Maybe you have to add "localhost" to (host allow) in [global] in smb.conf Syntax: "host allow = 129.187.200., localhost" 3) Syntax to call smbclient: "smbclient //myPC/user -U user" 4) If your system uses Shadow Passwords: You have to compile the Samba-suite with "-Wshadow". I hope it will help... Alexej Kupin (Alexej.Kupin@stusta.mhn.de)
