I have three systems that I want to be able to use samba to share files and
printers:
1. leopard --- a SuSE 6.2 samba server
2. cs198787-a --- a win98 box
3. cougar --- an old 386 running WfWg
All systems are connected and were happily sharing successfully until I noticed
last week that I could no longer print from the linux box to the win98 box.
The print files just disappeared. So after several days of "fixing"
the
problem I have now managed to get the linux box to not be able to see any
shares on the win98 system!!!
Here's the current situation:
All systems can see the shares of every other system except the linux box to
win98 connection. In other word, no matter what I do I always receive a
"session request to CS198787-a failed" followed by "session
request to
*SMBSERVER failed" when I run smbclient -L cs198787-a. I can browse the
linux
shares in network neighborhood on the win98.
I downloaded the DIAGNOSTICS.txt file from the web site and I pass all of the
tests (TEST 1 through 10) and ,yes, I am using encrypt passwords for win98.
I'm using the same smb.conf file that has worked for the last year so I
think
something must have changed in the win98 system. I did install some security
patches that might be doing this???
Any suggestions on where to start???
