I am trying to install Samba 2.0.3 on a Linux 2.0.36 system (Slackware 3.6) As per the documentation, I got to the point were I am instructed to try smbclient -L localhost It responds with a password: prompt. No matter what I enter, it responds with : session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) This is my smb.conf file # Global parameters [global] log level = 2 interfaces = 192.168.1.5/24 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 smbrun = /usr/sbin/smbrun dns proxy = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes I have also tried smbclient -L localhost -U user with the same results. Needless to say, Windows 95 clients are also reporting invalid passwords. The log file reports... [1999/04/02 22:39:59, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(105) Couldn't set effective gid to 100 currently set to (real=0,eff=0) [1999/04/02 22:39:59, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(425) Can't become connected user! [1999/04/02 22:40:00, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(406) Closing connections Documentation is leading to nothing but dead ends... What am I doing wrong? --- Pete Rossi - WA3NNA pete@pjrnet.com
