Hi, Can any point me in the right direction to solve this one? I get a: "this account is not authorized to login from this station" message when I try to "Map Network Drive" from NT4server SP4 to my RH Linux 6.0 Samba 2.0.3, yet I can open a telnet session from the NT machine to Linux using this user, and, in a linux xterm window I can list the samba services using smbclient -L localhost -U user%password I am also able to mount a NT4 share on a linux mountpoint, so it works the other way round. TIA, Zoltan. ==========================|================Zoltan Szecsei | Geograph (Pty) Ltd | SnailMail: 9 Maritz Street | P.O.

By default NT4 SP3 and above does not allow logins to servers with un-encrypted passwords. Either setup the server to support encrypted passwords or apply the correct registry changes. You should have a NT4_PlainPassword.reg with your samba sources. We did this by setting up encrypted support instead, so I don't know if the reg works (and I don't remember if this was the exact error message). /Urban
Not authorized to login from this station - this is a FAQ. It has to do with NT by default using encrypted passwords. I fixed this by applying the /usr/doc/samba-2.0.3/docs/NT4_PlainPassword.reg file to the registry on my NT4 workstation. I'm sure that this is less secure, but I don't think there are too many sniffers on my home LAN. Hope this helps.

Hi! Funny thing not all workstations (all NT) have access to the Samba server. The server is listed in the network neighorhood but the users can't get access to the shared drives from a specific station. The 'host allow' option is commented out, the users exist, and the shares are available... Here's what happens when I try to connect from the dos-command line: E:\NILE>net use \\daffy\samba * /USER:dirk Type the password for \\daffy\samba: System error 1240 has occurred. The account is not authorized to login from this station. How can I resolve this? ++Dirk
